The Arizona Snowbowl is preparing to welcome the public once again. With an opening date, scheduled for Thursday, the Snowbowl team has engaged in snowmaking to ready the location. However, the staff also looks toward natural weather conditions for support.
Marketing manager Angie Grubb says an operating resort depends on the weather.
“That is a scheduled opening date, and so it is tentative on weather. But luckily, for us, we started snowmaking back on October 16 and we have got quite a bit of weather coming our way," she said.
The National Weather Service forecasts storms and snow, which may benefit the resort environment.
“We love our snow making team and we love snow making. But without a doubt, we also rely on that natural snowfall. And so we are super excited to be seeing some weather coming in," Grubb said.
