Flagstaff, Arizona
This series of photos was captured during March of 2025 on a quiet morning following one of only two large snowstorms to hit town this winter. Every season in Flagstaff is magical, but winter is where it earns its fame. One of the top ten snowiest towns in the country, and home to the third-oldest ski resort in the Southwest- Flagstaff’s snow is an Arizona spectacle and a feature commonly overlooked by fellow Americans. In spite of this, this town is no stranger to fighting snow and carrying on. These photos aim to capture the beauty and customary function of such a mountain town after a snow squall, showcasing my favorite spots of Downtown Flagstaff to do so.
