Flagstaff Skiing
Flagstaff skiing is a cool winter activity enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. However, this year the snow is slow to show. Think snow! Many South of Flagstaff residents participate in downhill skiing and cross country skiing at local facilities. The season also attracts many visitors from all parts of Arizona, and from across the USA. These healthful outdoor recreational facilities provide a welcome economic boost to our community. We're lucky to have them nearby.
The Flagstaff skiing facility that is best known is the Arizona Snowbowl. It is located on the San Francisco Peaks, on the north side of town. This is where most Arizonans learn the downhill sport, and where they continue to come, year after year.
The Snowbowl is working to add snowmaking equipment to ensure quality skiing and their facility's viability. The Flagstaff Nordic Center is an excellent cross-country skiing facility located about sixteen miles north of town along Highway 180. Wing Mountain is a cross country area located about nine miles north of town. This is a no fee (free) facility with limited improvements... it does have a snow play and sledding area. The Mormon Lake Ski Touring Center is another fun cross-country ski facility. Located South of Flagstaff around the Mormon Lake countryside, the Mormon Lake Lodge and other amenities are nearby. Take Lake Mary Road south from town about twenty eight miles. Follow the paved turnoff to Mormon Lake village.
