ith the winter soon to descend on Flagstaff and our beloved San Francisco Peaks, we checked in with one of our great winter photographers, Tom Brownold. While he’s also known for his great work in and around the Grand Canyon and for other endeavors, his passion for skiing and snow gets him to where the action is. He has photographed extensively at Arizona Snowbowl and in the winter backcountry. To help get us excited for the new winter season, we are running some of our favorite of Brownold’s photographs. Check out more of his images at www.tombrownold.com.
