Arizona Snowbowl is Flagstaff's hometown mountain, spread across the upper slopes of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in Arizona. In winter it is the region's go-to ski area; when the snow melts, summer and fall visitors ride the scenic chairlift for sweeping views of the forest and the town below.
What to Know
- Winter skiing and snowboarding on the San Francisco Peaks
- Scenic chairlift rides with high-altitude views in the warm months
- Summer hiking access on the highest terrain in Arizona
Even visitors who never slide on snow enjoy the mountain. Chairlift rides, high-elevation hiking, and the dramatic backdrop of the Peaks make it a popular escape, especially when the desert valleys below are baking in summer heat.
Snowfall is measured in feet on the upper mountain, and the ski season typically runs from late fall into spring, with plenty of powder days when winter storms sweep across Northern Arizona.
