Downhill Bring Downhill MTBing to Snowbowl, Flagstaff, AZ.

New destination! #138 :bang:

 

Thanks to all that have helped out.

Flagstaff is one of my favorite cities, totally bike friendly, you can ride to trailheads right from town. The Flagstaff MTB community likes to fly under the radar and stay away from some of the problems they are having in Sedona right now. Flag has as many non-system trails as Sedona but the Sedona Forest Service is blocking trails and writing poaching tickets. Granted Sedona is Tonto District and Flag in Coconino District.

Keep the signatures coming even if you never plan on going out there it is alway appreciated by those that will benefit. The only other lift assist biking near Phoenix is Sunrise Bike Park so I would think that Snowbowl would keep pricing near the same $18 per day.

I like there is lift DH in PHX area then saw it was greer,az. Thats a pretty long ways from phx. Flagstaff is close to half the distance,

 

Signed it.

My brother lives in Flagstaff, and I've only visited him in Winter. This may be the excuse I need to head out there in Summer.

#155,

It would be cool to have lift access DH again....

 

I'll be more than happy to sign the petition...but I'd be surprised if mountain biking gets the green light. They've been haggling for years to get snow-making machines at Snow Bowl but the Native Indian community have been ardently opposed to the idea; even though extending the ski season would provide a much-needed boost to the local economy ](*,)

Still...far be it for me to be a naysayer. Consider the petition as good as signed :bang:

Edit: Petition #168

 

Signed! I would love to see something like this come to Flag! Its a sweet place to ride, highly underated.

 

Indians lost the Federal Appeal August 2008. Get permission to use reclaimed water.

Arizona is still in a multi year drought. Homes and farms outside the city limits of Williams have had to truck in potable water for years. It is the West and water rights are always the #1 problem.

Morning bump for good cause

Plus a couple teaser of pics: First pic is near Snowbowl looking out towards Williams and pockets of Aspen Trees. Other pics are less than 2 miles from the ski area in Fort Valley and Little Elden. Major Fall Color Aspen rides in Flagstaff and Williams.

Flagstaff is Awesome. I was out there in November and rode the train to the Grand Canyon. Pretty Cool.

 

That looks like some sweet MBTing terrain. Flagstaff trip this year... definitely! :bang:
