Arizona Snowbowl

Arizona Snowbowl: A Premier Destination for All Seasons

Winter Activities

Nestled in the San Francisco Peaks at 9,500 feet, the Arizona Snowbowl is one of the state's best spots for skiing and snowboarding. The Snowbowl offers a variety of terrain parks and more than 60 runs, where you can develop and practice your freestyle skills.

Summer Adventures

The Snowbowl also welcomes visitors to its slopes in the summer for a scenic gondola ride that travels up to 11,500 feet. From the top, the Grand Canyon and Sedona are visible on a clear day. Other summertime activities include sliding on a dual-lane tubing track, a climbing wall, and a bungee trampoline.
