Spring Fling coming to Phoenix Ski Hill

In 2000, then manager, Frank Astofooroff, introduced a dummy downhill to Phoenix Ski Hill as an added

feature to our Spring Fling. It was a huge hit. Since then we have had it combined with Spring Fling

which coincides with our last day of operations.

This year Spring Fling is on March 25th with a Rock and Roll Rockstar theme. And yes the dummy downhill will be back after a 3 year hiatus. Come on up for the BBQ, open mic and of course the dummy downhill. We invite people to build their own fun and creative dummies to enter into the event. Check our Facebook page for rules about dummy building.

We have had a stellar year and the snow coverage is the best we’ve had in years.

Mark your calendars for March 25th.
