Winter in Flag

Flag is awesome, but kind of tough in the winter. Boulder gets nicer days in winter and more chances to get out on trails, but not as high up and nowhere to retreat to like Sedona or Phoenix close by...

Yes! Flagstaff is the greatest place to train, winters are tolerable and the spring/summers are always worth waiting for. Go NAU XC!

ahh... I love and miss this place it really is a special and unique place. I went to NAU and videos of flagstaff make me feel like I want to go back. Winters are actually not bad at all. You only get snow storms once in a while, but they're actually kinda cool. The winter temps are really mild and not at all intrusive to running. Plus you have Sedona about 20 miles away where there is no snow if you don't want to miss a day because of the snow. Flagstaff is awesome.

But January was in the 50s. Because of the sunny skies even if the air temp is 30 it can feel much warmer in the sun.

flagstaff has pretty mild winters compared to most snowy places. I have lived in flagstaff the last 15 years and the coldest i've seen it get is -12. But, that only happened once and it doesn't usually dip below the teens at the very lowest.Usually, into the 20s or 30s dueing the day.

how cold does it get in flagstaff?

You are correct. Supernova sunglasses.

What shades is Andrew rocking in this video? Are they the Adidas Supernova?

wow, thanks for putting this up! im actually thinking of going to northern arizona for college next year, gonna visit flagstaff next week, cant wait!
