Any word on when AZSB will close? Rumors?

I harvested corn up at the bowl today. Upper mountain was skiing just fine, got pretty soupy below midway though I was skiing after 2 PM. Next weekend might be decent by May standards if the incoming base refresh sticks around. Hope all Four Corners skiers had a good season and cheers to the next one.

Guess we missed each other, though I skied from 10-3. It was quite nice in the morning...warmed faster than I was expecting. I'm consistently impressed by snowbowl's ability to harvest and spread snow to keep the season going. Not sure how they're going to do it again next weekend but I'm not doubting them.

And just like that fire season is here. Fire burning right next to Ski Apache ski area right now.

Cresting the mountain about an hour ago. Hot Shots kicked my bro off this peak a few mins later.

Is that part of the ski area to the far right? I hope they don't get hit again.

Yes, it burned back into the burn scar from the last fire but I saw pics of this less than 1/4 mile from the top gondola terminal. Really want to know how they fared last night. Thankfully some light rain up there this morning.

And back to winter this morning, ski area saved.

Glad to see the snow. I was on the Ruidoso webcam awhile ago and it was snowing in town also. Hopefully the snow/humidity/and low temps helps in a big way.

Talk about a miracle storm. Thank goodness!

Today has been a beautiful and moody day across the Four Corners region. I got in a small hike along my work commute and snapped a few photos.

Where is that located? I'd like to hike and camp there.

Grand Staircase-Escalante. It’s the Toadstool hike in between Kanab and Page.

Don't put the skis away yet!!!!

 

[raisingarizona]

Yeah, fresh coat of white up there this morning.

Here’s some summer stoke from my work in southern Utah.

Coconino re-opening tomorrow!

I've been down south in the sky islands since Coronado never closed.
