Arizona Snowbowl Opens All Lifts and 93% of Terrain in Strongest Early Season in Years - SnowBrains

"The resort reported it has already received about 5 feet of natural snowfall, pushing conditions far ahead of what is typical for this point in the season. By comparison, Snowbowl had 50 percent of lifts and 21 percent of trails open on the same date last winter. The terrain expansion comes on the heels of a record 185-day season last winter, when Snowbowl stayed open into June for the second consecutive year."

"With early excitement building, the resort is placing added emphasis on responsible skiing and riding. Throughout December, Snowbowl is hosting "Know the Code" events aimed at helping guests understand and apply the Your Responsibility Code guidelines. Collision Camps will be held Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving guests a chance to test their awareness knowledge for winter-gear prizes."

Arizona Snowbowl opened 93% of its terrain with all eight lifts running as of December 5, giving skiers near-complete access. The resort has received about five feet of natural snowfall, accelerating early-season conditions well ahead of last winter when only 50 percent of lifts and 21 percent of trails were open on the same date. The terrain expansion follows a record 185-day season. Snowmaking upgrades near the Humphrey's Chairlift provide more reliable coverage and could extend spring operations. The resort is hosting safety programming and holiday events, including "Know the Code" sessions, Collision Camps, Safety on the Slopes, and a Santa visit.
