Arizona Snowbowl received six inches of snow overnight as it prepares to open on 20 November.

Arizona Snowbowl received six inches of snow overnight on 24 October as it prepares for the start of the ski season. The resort is scheduled to open on 20 November, with first chair starting at 9 a.m.

Snowbowl officials are using snowmaking equipment to supplement the natural snowfall. Artificial snow is being produced from the top of the Arizona Gondola to Agassiz Lodge, and snowmaking has been extended to Big Spruce. The resort said snowmaking will continue as long as weather permits.

Officials indicated that if the current snow pattern continues, the resort could open days or weeks earlier than the scheduled 20 November date. Flagstaff broke snow records during the last El Niño, and similar conditions are expected this winter. Guests can purchase lift tickets at discounted rates of as low as £9 on certain dates.
