Flagstaff Snowbowl

Flagstaff Snowbowl, or more properly... the Arizona Snowbowl,
is Arizona's favorite skiing facility. It's located just north of
Flagstaff on the San Francisco Peaks.
Note: Because many people search the internet using the
keyword phrase Flagstaff Snowbowl, I'll continue to use this less-than-proper name on this
page.

The Flagstaff Snowbowl facility has been in continuous operation since 1938.
Few other ski facilities can make this statement. Convenient, family friendly,
variety of runs, and much more are offered by the Snowbowl,
A
snow conditions report for flagstaff snowbowl is available here.
Here is the weather report for the Snowbowl and
Flagstaff area., courtesy of accuweather.com. Use the links below to view the
conditions and other information specific to the Arizona Snowbowl.
This convenient facility offers lessons for all ability
levels, plus... what is acknowledged to be the best learning terrain in the Southwestern US.
It also
features:
- 2300 feet of vertical drop
- 4 chair lifts
- 32 scenic alpine trails
- Terrain Park for skiers and snowboarders
- 2 lodges with restaurants and bars
- Cabins
- 260 inches of snowfall average per year
- 4 month ski season (average - mid December thru
mid-April)
The Flagstaff Snowbowl operators have received permission
from the Forest Service to expand and improve facilities... and to make snow, but that decision
continues to be challenged by protesters attempting to impede construction.
They lost their attempt to prevent snow making in the US Supreme Court.
Opponents to expansion and snow making have not prevailed
in Federal Appeals Court, and lost in their appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court... but they keep filing new lawsuits designed to (in my opinion) delay,
harass, and increase costs. Use the link at the bottom of this page to get updates on
the status of snowmaking.
The Flagstaff Snowbowl also offers a popular Summer Scenic
Skyride. It's a great way to enjoy views of the surroundings, wild flowers, and
a different view of the Grand Canyon's North Rim.
Flagstaff, with a variety of hotels and motels is just minutes
from the mountain.
