Well F dude! That's a bummer of a missed opportunity man. I'm working on some super fun trails there if you like the slow and tech with a few bursts of hang the f on tech stuff you you're into that sort of thing.Quote:

Which is odd since Coleman himself is kind of a funky character. I’ve done work at a few of his resorts, and they definitely seem a little less corporate, and maybe a little loose that’s other resorts. A little less on snowbowl, and maybe purg since they’re kind of the flagships.Quote:

Raising a13, I sent you a pm.
Yeah, it was real loose 20 or so years ago. It's a very professionally run ski area these days and extremely successful business now. Well, except for lift line management, f they can't figure that one out.Quote:

Trying to extend a PHX work trip and snag a day at Snowbowl on 1/14. I'll have my boots with me but any recommendations for where to pick up a good ski demo? I'll probably be staying in Flagstaff on Friday night.
Nice! All three local shops (Humphreys, Ski Haus and Last Chair) probably have some decent options. I'd call them or maybe look at their websites to see what they have and what's best for you. I won't be around but we are getting a lot of snow right now and the mountain is opening up. It should be decent then but even if conditions go to shit they do a great job with grooming and such. If you can, ski midweek. The weekends are total shit shows these days. Have fun!Quote:

Monday could be sweet if this forecast holds.Quote:

Anything else is a lot more committing since you have to go up and over and then back out from the Basin. I don't think Snowbowl is open for uphill traffic yet either.
IF it dumps like that forecast is claiming hot laps on the chair would be the call imho.
Thanks for the info!
Yeah looks like they are still closed to uphill traffic.
Too bad the lift ticket prices are jacked up so much this week, I'd totally buy one and ski for a few hours at the non holiday rates.

Mount Lemmon getting snow too .
When Mt. Lemmon gives you lemons, you got to make powder out of it!
I got to tour with my friends 14 and 15 year old sons today out in the side country then took my daughter and a group of their friend for another lap later in the day. It was super fun to share that experience with the yoots.

Great pics! Is the backcountry still empty? When I left flagstaff in 04 I felt like I was the only one touring.
Theres a little more traffic these days but it never feels busy or stressful to ski something because there's a "race" for it. Most folks here aren't comfortable or experienced enough to ski the bigger lines the day after a storm and stick to the 48 hour rule.Quote:
