Was in Flagstaff just after Christmas and drove past the AZ Snowbowl on US-180. Once you leave Flagstaff, the road is basically flat through beautiful pine / aspen forest with just the slightest uphill grade but we did not take the turnoff to the ski area since we were heading towards the Grand Canyon. Several miles past the turnoff there's a long 6%-8% downhill run but you won't need to drive that. Even the climb up Mogollon Rim on I-17 shouldn't be a big deal.
My suggestion? Take the AWD Subaru so you don't have to hassle with chains. And, if you take the SAAB and they loosen up, they may beat the snot out of your nice SAAB wheel wells.
