Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, April 11.
Rise and shine, Flagstaff friends, its a breezy start to the weekend with gusts up to 30 to 40 miles per hour whipping through town, so hold onto your hats if youre heading out for those early hikes on Humphreys Peak where winds are clocking around 5 meters per second with even stronger gusts perfect for experienced adventurers but a reminder to check conditions and gear up safely. Cooler temps are rolling in too, capping highs in the upper 70s locally after that recent warm spell, with a slim chance of passing showers clearing to sunny skies by afternoon ideal for shaking off the week and diving into our epic lineup of events.
Kick things off at Arizona Snowbowl, where todays the big closing weekend for the 2025-26 ski season hop on the Arizona Gondola from 10 AM to 4 PM weather permitting, carve up five runs of advanced terrain, and catch live DJ beats from noon to 4 PM on Sunday if you stretch it out plus score up to 50 percent off winter gear at the pro shop. Its the perfect send-off to a stellar snow year, letting you snag those last spring turns while supporting the mountain that defines our backyard adventures.
As the sun dips, head downtown for Starlight in the Square, celebrating 25 years since Flagstaff became the worlds first International Dark Sky City. Gather under those legendary starry skies for stargazing, local performances, and that unbeatable sense of wonder gazing at the cosmos right here in our own backyard a timeless tradition that reconnects us to why we love calling this high-desert gem home.
On the civic front, big wins for our future Coconino County just unanimously greenlit the Flagstaff Regional Land Use Plan as an amendment to Envision 2045, shaping smarter growth that preserves our forests, trails, and communities for generations. Meanwhile, the Planning and Zoning Commission pushed forward a proposal to ban data centers on a close 4-3 vote, prioritizing our dark skies and natural vibe over big-tech sprawl decisions that hit home for anyone fighting to keep Flagstaff authentically wild.
Mark your calendars too Northern Arizona Healthcare hosts Meet Our Experts Live on April 23, a free chance to chat health pros face-to-face. And for volunteers, Coconino National Forests calling for summer campground hosts to keep our public lands pristine.
Stay safe out there, bundle for the wind, and make today count in this unbeatable town.
