Flagstaff/Northern AZ Thread

As @Twitch57 said, the prices are typically controlled by the manufacturer in that industry so they are the same everywhere and they are WAY over priced. The only way to really find a deal is to use the nationwide(not state specific) TacomaWorld classifieds and be willing to drive to get the topper you want.

 

Thank guys. Was more trying to see if anyone was trying to get rid of theirs for a decent price. Just cant justify paying 4k for a topper. I have seen a few in California but they are sold by the time the weekend comes around and I am able to get out there to buy it.

 

Yea. All this AM has been that wet slushy snow. granted as soon as the sun peaked.
poof it’s gone

 

I took the kiddo out to the cinders for some sledding.

I avoid that place like the plague during the summer, especially on holiday weekends,
but winter weekdays are nice out there.

 

I am used to having to fight to bust out of the house after a big storm , but looks like tomorrow we’re gonna be busting back in after being out of town visiting family

how is everyone doing with the storm

I wish I had brought the taco instead of the wife’s car but the darn mpg …

 

FORGET THAT MESS

 

I've run out of room to put snow. Cleared one side of the roof this afternoon, the other side can wait until tomorrow.

 

Mess? Not only is this much snow fucking glorious, it provides the drinking water you love so much in the valley. Also the last two days at snowbowl were incredible. Waist deep pow with all day refills. Doesnt get any better than that in AZ, or any other state for that matter.

 

My son was also at Snowbowl yesterday and today since classes were cancelled. He said the same thing about the fresh powder. He has also sent tons of pics of how beautiful it is.

 

Man I miss living in Flagstaff

 

I hope you had wind delays lol. Jealous of what had to have been amazing conditions

 

I dont want to be on fire again all spring and summer. Plus up here, it'll be like this for a bit. Then clear up.
Makes work a lil busy for me, doing HVAC, environmental controls on campus. Otherwise, aint no different than dealing with the rain in the south east.

 

Forces me to drive the Tacoma. Oh no I have to drive the race truck to work!!!! Can’t hear you with the noise cancelling headsets lol. I’ll admit I drove like way more of an asshole than planned yesterday trying to get around a couple plows. Otherwise normal hooligan driving lol

 

Yesterday there were no wind delays but the 26" they claimed only felt like 10-12 because there was a super crusty layer in the middle due to the air temps being so warm. If you sunk below that layer you got stuck hardcore, not fun. Today the gondola didnt open until 1030 and it was windy at the top but not bad. It was SO much softer today though, bottomless feeling. Reminded me of last years epic run of never ending pow in Jan-Feb. Tomorrow morning will actually be really good and I bet there will be zero lines, there were almost no lines today which was fucking rad. My legs need a day off though because mountain bike race in Phoenix on Saturday.

 

I hope your legs are sore haha. Boss took today off to go to the mountain too. All the jealously.

 

It is great for the water for sure. I've camped and have lived in a place where it has snowed like that before. Just not for me. I'll definitely enjoy it for a day or two but that's about it.

 

dang, if i hadnt just spent a bunch of time off I think I would have a cold coming on tomorrow...

 

had to go to flag yesterday in the wind. the truck got 18 mpg on the freeway on the way
into the wind. Since it was miserable I just headed home after stopping at Hobo freight
got 29+ mpg at 80mph on the way home.

 

I drove through Flag yesterday too. That wind was nuts! I was afraid to look at the mpg.
