Arizona Snowbowl's lifts run from a 9,200 foot base to 11,500 feet, about seven miles up Snowbowl Road. For cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, Arizona Nordic Village is a short drive north on Highway 180.

The residence
The whole house is aimed at the mountain.
The great room, the living room and the patio are each set so the windows frame the San Francisco Peaks straight on.
It sits on five acres at the base of Arizona Snowbowl, tucked well off the main road, so the quiet and the view belong to the house alone. Inside, stacked stone runs up the fireplace and the stair hall, walnut carries through the kitchen and wine bar, and a hardworking back of house with a scullery, pantry and mudroom keeps the main rooms clear. Out back, a covered patio and a fire pit open straight onto native grasses and pines.

Outside 01
Charred wood, barnwood and stone against the pines.
Standing-seam roofs step down over a mix of charred siding and barnwood, grounded by a stone base. Behind the house, the patio sits square to the peaks.
Inside 02
Arrive, gather, cook, and keep the everyday out of sight.
Walk in through the stair hall, into the great room with the mountain filling the windows, and back through the kitchen to the rooms that do the everyday work.

Life here 04
Halfway between first chair and downtown.
Snowbowl Road climbs about seven miles from Highway 180 to the lifts. Downtown Flagstaff is about seven miles the other way. And the same highway runs north to the Grand Canyon.
Estimates from where Snowbowl Road meets Highway 180, based on published distances from Flagstaff (Flagstaff.com, Discover Flagstaff). Times vary with the exact homesite, season and road conditions. Map positions are approximate.
Summer
Cool air and Arizona's highest trail
The Humphreys Peak Trail starts at Snowbowl and climbs to 12,633 feet, the highest point in Arizona. The summer scenic gondola rides to 11,500 feet for the view without the climb.
Fall
Gold aspens on your own road
Aspen Corner on Snowbowl Road is one of Flagstaff's best-known fall color stops. The aspens usually turn from late September through mid-October.
After dark
Some of the clearest night skies anywhere
In 2001, Flagstaff became the world's first International Dark Sky City. From the patio and the fire pit, the stars are part of the evening.

- Morning
Coffee with the Peaks
The great room windows face the San Francisco Peaks straight on, so first light on the summit is part of the morning.
- Mid-morning
Up the road
In winter, it's about seven miles up Snowbowl Road to the lifts. In summer, the same drive takes you to the Humphreys Peak trailhead or the gondola.
- Afternoon
Into town
Historic downtown Flagstaff is about 15 minutes down Highway 180 for lunch, errands or an evening out.
- Late afternoon
Boots off
Gear goes straight into the four mudroom lockers, and the scullery keeps the main kitchen clear.
- Evening
Dinner and a pour
The walnut kitchen and island hold the whole crew, and the wine bar is just a few steps away.
- Night
Fire pit under dark skies
The covered patio and fire pit face the Peaks, under the skies of the world's first International Dark Sky City.
- The weekend
The Grand Canyon, up the same highway
The South Rim is about 75 miles north on Highway 180, roughly an hour and twenty minutes away.
