The Arizona Snowball Adventure
Yes there is snow in Arizona. It's hard to believe and I'm still very suprised. At least there is in the high elevation areas. Saturday I got to go skiing at the Sanfransisco Peaks in Flagstaff (pictured on the left) about 90 minutes north of here. The tallest part of the mountain (known as the Arizona Snowball Ski Area) is over 12,000
feet tall which explains why there its presently snow up there even though its 70 and beautiful here in Prescott. The ski slopes peak at about 10,300 feet and are pretty amazing. Amazing is the word that comes to mind when you are on the lift on the way up for 10 minutes. When skiing down other things come to mind such as: "What was I thinking? Does this hill have a bottom? Do I have life insurance? and... how do I stop?" The top of the mountain had a spectacular view and it was a fairly clear day so altogether it was quite an awesome experience. Just another amazing opportunity in the state of Arizona and a chance to check out God's great creation.
