Hey, dads! All of us at Snowbowl wants to be the first to wish you a Happy Father’s Day! 

Thank you to all the dads who spend countless weekends with us up on the mountain. We thank you for passing on the love you have for skiing (or snowboarding) to us and teaching us how to take our first turns on Hart Prairie, showing us your favorite powder stashes, the chicken fingers and hot cocoa at Hart Prairie, the foot massages when our feet get sore in our boots, the jokes and laughs that only a dad can make, and the ...

The 2018-2019 winter season has officially come to a close, and what an incredible season it has been. Although warm weather means melting snow, it also means summer at Arizona Snowbowl is here! Good food, great company, and high-altitude adventures await you and yours on the mountain this summer.

With cooler temperatures averaging approximately 75-80 degrees every day, Flagstaff is a hotspot for Phoenicians to escape the sweltering temperatures of the valley.

We can easily say that you all are truly super heroes. Here at Arizona Snowbowl, mothers hold a special place in our hearts. We love offering you the chance to come out to the slopes and act like a kid again.  We also thank you for giving your children the chance to experience snow and snowsports with us. We absolutely love seeing all of the tater tots on our mountain, and the family connection that skiing and riding can bring.

It’s been an incredible season for skiing and snowboarding, and it’s been even more amazing for our adaptive athletes, students, and instructors who have been taking advantage of the historic snowfall and expanded resources this season.

Adaptive snowsports allow individuals with mental and/or physical disabilities to enjoy winter recreation. Using specially designed lessons, techniques, and equipment, individuals are able to experience the thrill of skiing and snowboarding with assistance or even independently!

With the help of Northern Arizona Healthcare Foundation, Arizona Snowbowl and Northern Arizona Adaptive Sports Association were able to provide over 738 lessons this season (and counting!). ...
