momskeeztoo Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 End of the month. Snowbowl is actually pretty high in elevation. They had a crappy year last year. They were skiing early November this year. The problem in Az is lack of water. When they get rain kinda runs off due to the type of soil. Rocks and old volcanic ash is what I read. They do get monsoon type rain late in summer, I believe. They don't make snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to New Mexico before but only because a flight to Durango was diverted to Farmingham which is an hour south of Durango by shuttle. Someday I'll go to Arizona. I heard Tempe is pretty fun. I also wanna see the horse with no name. Actually in Montana areas like 30 miles west of Bozeman are full on dessert there's tumbleweed and it rains like ten inches a year max. Lots of dried out creeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momskeeztoo Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Phoenix. Fun town, especially for young people. Lots to do within walking distance. Rent nowhere near as high as around here. It gets ungodly hot in the summer. But you can drive about hour and half and be in another world. Much cooler and greener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 It's just nuts that two seasons ago was the longest season at blue and last season was the shortest. Shadows did you sell your old skis?? Shadows how often do you go up to the slopeside grill at blue? I went there once with VTMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Something needs to be open in Nov. I'm going on 7 months and getting antsy. Bring on the Ski mag resort guides and the thread where we talk about how we're all going to go to Denton on our WNEP ski cards but never do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
