Leaving Phoenix, Dad and the boys headed a few hours north to Flagstaff Arizona. Carter and Parker have only skied in North Carolina and Flagstaff happens to be home to one of Arizona's best ski mountains, the Arizona Snowbowl which is part of the San Francisco Peaks which is an old formation from a large stratovolcano.
The mountain was great and had fantastic views. From the main chairlift to the top of the mountain (11,500ft) you could see the scar of the Grand Canyon in the distance.
We skied for two days with the boys doing ski school in the mornings and then all three skiing together in the afternoons with each other.

The boys skills grew tremendously over the two days and they were given high praise from their instructors on both their improvement and their attitudes in learning. They had such fun that they are talking about taking another trip next Spring Break to possibly focus solely on skiing.
That's an idea Dad can get behind!
