Ski Lift Lodge & Cabins

Reservations

Owned and operated by the Arizona Snowbowl, these facilities are only minutes northwest of Flagstaff at the base of the San Francisco Peaks. Close to all of the northern Arizona attractions, including the Grand Canyon, Route 66 and the Museum of Northern Arizona. This location allows for direct access into the Coconino National Forest for hiking and biking adventures. This is the closest lodging option to the finish line at Arizona Snowbowl but a little further from restaurants and shops in downtown Flagstaff.

Coconino National Forest Camping

Freidlein Prairie Dispersed Camping Area

Dispersed camping in the Coconino National Forest is located along Snowbowl Road just a few miles south of the finish line at the Arizona Snowbowl.

We appreciate our volunteers!  For many volunteering is rewarding in its own right and a great way to give back to the running community.  For others, it is a way to see things from the other side of the table, and learn a lot about running races before jumping into them.

Volunteer benefits:

• Race apparel or Race-Specific merchandise item
• Race Credit good toward a future Aravaipa race, typical credit amounts:
•  Volunteer at registration tent
•  Volunteer at aid station or course sweep
•  Volunteer for event set up or break down
•  Volunteer at the timing tent (basic computer proficiency required)

Volunteer Restrictions:

• Setup and Breakdown volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.
• Families are welcome to help at aid stations but credits will only be issued for children ages 12 and above.
• Volunteer Credits must be used via Ultra Signup or mail-in registration and are not able to be credited for any registrations done at packet pick-up or race-day.
• For safety reasons course sweeps are limited to one sweeping shift and must be fresh at the start of their shift (please, no racing earlier in the day and sweeping later).

Flagstaff Sky Peaks Volunteer Sign Up

Poles are allowed for all distances. If you start the 10K or 26K race with poles, you will need to carry them the entire race. The 50K and 50M can utilize their remote drop bags for pole logistics.

Course Marking: We use orange & black polka dot ribbons as well as orange pin flags with the Aravaipa Running logo on them. At critical turns, there may be signs that will state your race distance so be sure to check all signs before continuing.
NOTE: the 2023 trail junction signs may say “25K” rather than the updated distances this year which are actually “26K”.
If you see blue and white checkered ribbons, those are the wrong way ribbons. Turn around and find the orange and black polka dot ribbons or orange pin flags and continue on course.
