FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Arizona Snowbowl has opened its doors for a record 147 days this ski season, which is the latest the ski resort has ever stayed open.

On Friday, as the Valley dealt with triple-digit temperatures, some hit the slopes up north.

At an elevation of 11,500 ft., the temperature was 53°F at one point in the day. The ski resort is open all weekend. On Saturday, lift tickets will cost $19, and on Sunday, the lifts will be free to use.
