According to Snowbowl officials, this is the first time in Arizona history that a ski season has remained open through Memorial Day.

This ski season in Arizona has been nothing short of extraordinary, with many areas in northern Arizona pushing their final snowfall totals to at least 10 inches above normal.

The resort says the conditions are exceptional across the mountain and is ready to welcome Arizonans for two additional weekends, providing a perfect opportunity to escape the Valley heat.

Snowbowl will be open for Memorial Day weekend (Friday, May 24-Monday, May 27) and will then reopen on Saturday, June 1.

The Arizona Gondola will be the only lift operating during Memorial Day weekend and on the closing day.
