Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Flagstaff weather is, for the most part, beautiful. The area is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s not uncommon to see pictures of northern Arizona on postcards and magazines. The town does get snow, though, so be prepared to be chilly. If you like winter sports, Snowbowl is the place to be for skiing and snowboarding. Flagstaff is also only a half-day drive from many Colorado ski resorts. Because Flag is in the mountains, it also gets very windy, so be sure to bring a jacket to combat the sting of those windy days. Because many students haven’t been around snow before, the winter wonderland always seems to put everyone in a great mood. The rare snow day also causes classes to be canceled and students to rejoice. When the sun is out, Flag’s weather is unbeatable. Trips to Sedona are quite common. Summertime brings even more beautiful weather. It can be a bit warm, but most days are perfect and great for all sorts of outdoor activity. The thing that really bothers many students is that the weather is very unpredictable. Your day may start off with a wonderful blanket of snow, but the later hours of the day will pour on the sunshine to melt it all away. Local weather reports are never very accurate, and it can sometimes be difficult to schedule outdoor events. Inconsistency aside, the weather is beautiful, with sometimes sunny days, sometimes snowy days, but always happy days.

Flagstaff Weather Is Crazy!

Flagstaff weather is all over the place throughout the year but the school and city is very interested in student safety. The roads and sidewalks are cleaned as soon as it snows. A message will be sent out to students reminding them to notify instructors if traveling to school is a hazard for that student. A few years ago it snowed so much that the school cancelled finals in MAY!! When the sun is shining it is beautiful here and the rainstorms are AMAZING!! The only bad thing...WIND!! The wind sucks when it picks up here.

The only bad thing about the snow is I can't ride my bike. Thankfully there's an extremely reliable bus system that runs through town and campus.
