Snowbowl is unveiling an exciting lineup of capital improvements aimed at nurturing a healthy forest, elevating Arizona’s premier tree skiing experience, and rolling out thoughtful upgrades to make the upcoming winter season better than ever.
Forest Health Meets Fresh Tree Runs
This summer, we’re prioritizing forest restoration by removing dead and downed trees – helping to reduce forest fuels and keep our mountain environment healthy. These efforts don’t just benefit the ecosystem – they also open up exciting new gladed terrain for skiers and snowboarders.
Whether you’re an expert weaving through trees or a beginner looking to explore more natural terrain, these new areas offer a broader range of options within the resort boundary.
Upgraded Rentals, Smarter Tech & Smoother Visits
Your day on the mountain should be as seamless as possible – and we’re making that a reality with a range of guest experience upgrades, including:
- 1,200 new ski boots from Dalbello, Elan, and Lange
- Over 1,000 new Smith helmets for added safety and comfort
- Upgraded point-of-sale systems for faster checkouts
- Expanded Wi-Fi coverage throughout the resort
More Snowmaking = More Days on the Slopes
We’re enhancing snowmaking capabilities near the Humphreys Chairlift, which means more beginner and intermediate terrain will be ready earlier and stay open longer. This means more consistent conditions, a longer season, and a better experience for skiers and riders at every level.
Last season, Snowbowl opened on November 8 – our earliest opening ever and stayed open through June 1, marking 185 days of skiing and riding. With the new upgrades, we’re aiming to keep the momentum going.
A Commitment to the Mountain and Our Community
“These investments reflect Snowbowl’s long-term commitment to providing an authentic mountain experience at Arizona’s premier ski destination,” says Angie Grubb, Marketing Manager at Arizona Snowbowl. “By prioritizing forest health, trail maintenance, and resort enhancements, Snowbowl strengthens outdoor recreation in Arizona, ensuring each visit is better than the last.”
Power Pass: The Best Way to Ride
The 2025-26 Power Pass is on sale now – and prices go up after September 26. There are options for every skier and rider, but a few standout deals include:
- Snowbowl Weekday Pass: Starting at just $175, it’s a great value for locals and flexible travelers
- Kids 12 & under ski free all season long.
If you’re planning to make the most of winter, now’s the time to secure your spot on the mountain!
See You This Winter!
Arizona Snowbowl is looking ahead to another strong season – one that brings even more value, adventure, and memories to the mountain. Whether you’re a long-time passholder or planning your first trip, we can’t wait to see you on the slopes.
