Figured I would post in the Arizona section cause that's where I am.

Who else is in AZ?

Flagstaff AZ, loving the weather hating the hippies!

modlite

From Phoenix, but i visit Flag regularly in the winter to go snowboarding. I'm seriously considering going to NAU but tuition will kill me.

Check out my intro in the newb section.

I'm in Chandler!

I head up to Flag regularly during the winter for snowboarding too. I'll probably start buying a seaon pass once they get all the snowmaking equipment set up.

For those who care:

Current Story: FOREST SERVICE AND SNOWBOWL PREVAIL AT SUPREME COURT

Flagstaff, AZ – June 8, 2009

The Arizona Snowbowl is pleased that the United States Supreme Court has decided not to review the en banc decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of the United States Forest Service and Snowbowl.

The Arizona Snowbowl would like to thank all those who made this result possible and would like to thank our staff and customers for their patience during the court proceedings. Snowbowl will work with the Forest Service to implement the upgrade plan which will enhance the skiing experience for the guests.

The Snowbowl plans to work with the Forest Service to develop a schedule to implement the entire project, which will occur over the next several years. Do to the scope of the project, the snowmaking system will not be operational for the 2009-2010 season.


If anyone ever wants to meet up for some wheelin, let me know - I don't get out anywhere near as much as I want to.

Ya i saw that, pretty sweet. How does your truck do going up to flag and what kind of mileage does it get?

lofreqjeff

I don't usually drive it up that way unless I'm going camping or off roading. I have a Solara as my daily driver/snowboarding shuttle. It kinda sucks in the snow being FWD but I'm from Detroit and I have a lot of snow driving experience. I'm should to be getting a new Venza soon - V6, AWD, 4 door - plently of room for board gear and friends.

We should head up there for some boarding this winter - Would be nice to have some company for the long ride.

I get around 14mpg in my tacoma, 87 4Runner is broken, 18mpg in the 01 4runner.

All are EFI so nothing too noticeable. Now my R6 thats another story!


If you guys are ever intrested in a weekend of snowboardign and snow wheeling just let me know. Nothing better than wheeling in the snow, you have get all the fun like getting stuck in mud but you dont get dirty; in fact the trucks get cleaner.

i_love_tacos

watch out for yellow snow! should be everywhere with the new snowmaking thing.

anyways im from tuba city az. hour north of flagstaff. yes the navajo reservation. if you ever wanna wheel up here, let me know. i can show you some trails around the tuba city area.

modlite

My dad goes to Tuba City alot to do construction for you guys.

Alot different roads up there so sometimes he has to ask for directions and everyone screws with him. Sucks to be white i guess :/


I'd be all up for snowboarding with you guys. I usually take the yota just cause it's 4wd and my dad's paranoid bout the black ice on snowbowl road. Do you guys own your own boards or just rent them?

CRafferty

Here!!! Hailing from the FH. Often up in Payson, Prescott, and Flagstaff. I have much love for the Mogollon Rim.

sdstud212001

I bought one, its a lot easier when you can use the same board all the time. You get to learn how to ride "that" board and your riding is more consistent.

lofreqjeff

I have been snowboarding for around 15 years. I have 3 boards that I use regularly - depending on the conditions and what kind of riding I want to do.

H03Runner

Present! also go up north for snowboarding season. Bought the 4runner just so we could stop pushing the civic around going through the snow

modlite

Dang we got a big snowboarding crew!!
My cousin would also come along for the ride

lofreqjeff

Heck yeah! I've lived in Az for over 8 years and its always been a struggle to find someone to go with me. One more reason to say:

Tacoclimber

Checking in from the AZ West Coast. Good ole' Hardyville. (Bullhead City)

As far as boarding goes, both my wife and I ride, but haven't been out in three seasons now. I'd really like to change that this winter...

cool whats he building? sucks that he gets screwed with. some people here are very territorial with their land. even with me but mainly on hopi land.


wow ive always wanted to try snowboarding...

INFINITY

i am here representing the rim lake area. anyone up in my neck of the woods stop and say hi down at canyon creek fish hatchery. my house is the first one and most likely you will see my white 80 sitting out front.
i am all about the snowboarding when the snow is on the ground. for those of you who have not taken the time to go to sunrise, GO longer drive for some but WAY WAY better terrain than snowbowl, and a lot less people. but i do show love to snowbowl on jan 12 for my free b-day pass.
see ya, Harley

modlite

Sweet yeah I've been wanting to visit sunrise, but if i drove that far I'd want to stay somewhere, coming down the 17 at night is bad enough after a long day of boarding.

I'll follow your group idea haha:
Arizona Snowboarding Group

is anyone doing any wheeling this weekend?

I was thinking about maybe playing around at Butcher Jones or Sycamore but I'm down for just about anything - Maybe Friday or Sunday.
