Hotels in Flagstaff AZ Shout - Let There Be Snow

Most people in other parts of the country think it doesn't snow in Arizona, but that's not true at all. Although it doesn't really snow in the Phoenix Valley area, it snows plenty in the northern parts of the state like Prescott, Sedona, Payson and Flagstaff. Arizona hotels are already excited for another winter season to bring snow to the White Mountains, skiers and snow boarders to the slopes and sleepy visitors to all the Flagstaff AZ hotels.

Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau, along the western side of the largest contiguous Ponderosa Pine forest in the continental United States. It's located adjacent to Mount Elden, just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in the state of Arizona. Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet is located about 10 miles north of Flagstaff in Kachina Peaks Wilderness.

Flagstaff's annual snowfall averages a whopping 114.7 inches which makes it one of the snowiest incorporated cities in the United States. During the winter of 2009/2010, Flagstaff was the second snowiest town in the country behind a town somewhere in Alaska. Although it is a very snowy city indeed, it still has an average of 283 days without any kind of precipitation each year. The climate here is classified as "semi-arid." Although snow can cover the ground for weeks after major winter storms, the city's relatively low latitude and abundant winter sunshine quickly melt most of the snowfall so deeply packed snow is unusual to say the least.

Most visitors like to plan trips to Flagstaff in the winter when the snow is plentiful and the ski slopes are ready for business. This is when all the hotels in Flagstaff AZ as well as all the other businesses get incredibly busy; making winter their hottest time of the year in Flagstaff.
