First Chair Rental Shop ~ Arizona Snowowl

Arizona Snowbowl is probably on your radar if you are from the Southwest, otherwise, it’s less known to the public. However, you’ll be perfectly happy with the quality of skiing and boarding on their nearly 780 acres. Located among the San Francisco Peaks, just 14 miles north of Flagstaff (and only 70 miles from the Grand Canyon), families looking for a winter break will find a great mountain playground.

Now, while 80 percent of the terrain is built for beginners and intermediate skiers, you’ll still find 2,300-foot vertical. So while mom and dad hit the more advanced slopes, the kids can either take a few lessons with Snowbowl’s highly acclaimed ski school, or hit the terrain park with beginner to advanced features that are consistently changed throughout the year.

We highly recommend planning in advance for any ski vacation. Even if it’s just a week! You’d be surprised what kind of deals you can find. Take for example, reserving your rental equipment for skis and snowboards. We recommend booking in advance and online before your trip with the First Chair Rental Shop. The owners and staff members at First Chair are all skiers and instructors, so they know comfort and quality craftsmanship. And they want you to enjoy skiing as much as they do, so providing you with the excellent customer service is just a part of what they do. They are located in Flagstaff, so you’ll be able to pick up your ski rentals on the way!
