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.

Adaptive Snowsports Making Waves on the Slopes
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.
What is Adaptive Skiing/Snowboarding?
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!). ...
