Posted on January 9, 2016 by GCD

FLAGSTAFF — If you were planning a trip to Snowbowl, today is not your day. Reports are that a capacity crowd beat you to it.

Currently there are reports of trying to turn back a 14-mile line of cars leading up to Snowbowl which is at capacity.

The sun is out in Williams and there are still some snow play areas close by. The Oak Hill Snow Play Area between Williams and Parks on Route 66, for example. Benham Trail and Dogtown Road along Perkinsville Road south of Williams has some areas great for sledding. The Williams Snow Play area one mile south of Williams should have some great snow.

It might also be a great time to visit Bearizona or the Grand Canyon Deer Farm east of Williams.

The latest weather check shows a weak front coming in which could leave another 1-inch of snow tonight through Sunday night. It should clear up Monday through Wednesday.
