Winter Activities & Snow Play in Flagstaff
Skiing & Snowboarding
Arizona Snowbowl is the center of Flagstaff's winter sports. Though the ski resort is not located on a long mountain range like some of the resorts in Colorado and Utah, Mt. Humphreys is high and provides Arizonans a place to play in the snow without having to drive to another state. Arizona Snowbowl is best for skiing and snowboarding. There is a terrain park in the resort and the ability to do some back-country exploring as well. If you chose to go back-country skiing, please make sure you are knowledgable about avalanches and carry a beacon with you.
Sledding & Tubing
Wondering where to take the kids sledding or tubing in Arizona? Or maybe you're just looking for a great place the whole family can enjoy playing in the snow, cross-country skiing, sleigh rides and even making snowmen! Here's our complete 2015 guide to sledding, tubing and snow play in Arizona, but be smart and check each snow play area's website or telephone hotline for an up-to-date snow report, road conditions, and news on closures and special events.
Snowshoeing, Snow Biking & Cross Country Skiing
Snowshoeing is a fun activity for the whole family! It can be free if you have your own snowshoes, or you can go to Arizona Nordic Village and experience the best of snowshoeing in Flagstaff. There you can rent snowshoes, snow bikes, cross-country skis then go explore over miles of trails and even spend the night in a yurt! This is an incredible experience for families or small groups of friends.

Stay in a yurt or cabin at the AZ Nordic Village, a premier outdoor recreation destination just north of Flagstaff. Perfectly situated in the cool pine and aspen forests at 8,000 ft of elevation between Flagstaff and Grand Canyon National Park, the Village offers rustic cabin and yurt rentals year-round, and summer campsites that are RV-friendly. Frontcountry yurts and cabins are available for those seeking easy access, and five backcountry yurts offer solitude and natural settings with more comforts than a typical backpacking adventure. Many miles of hiking and biking trails leave right from the Village, and there are numerous other activities nearby, including the Lava River Cave, Red Mountain, Arizona Snowbowl, the Arizona National Scenic Trail, and many other hiking and biking trails.
In the winter season, the Arizona Nordic Village hosts a groomed trail system for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and fatbiking. Over 20 miles of trails offer opportunities for everybody to have a winter adventure!
