Snowbowl is open daily through late spring, conditions permitting, with lifts operating from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
With the snip of the scissors, Mountain Operations Director Dale Haglin officially opened the new fixed-grip quad Aspen Chairlift, Saturday, Dec. 21, just in time for the holiday rush.
The modern lift serves four new beginner-friendly trails within the Forest Service-permitted ski area, provides shorter ride times and more than doubles the previous uphill capacity.
“This investment demonstrates our ongoing dedication to making skiing accessible and enjoyable for newcomers and families,” said Arizona Snowbowl Marketing Manager Angie Grubb. “With the largest beginner terrain in the Southwest and free skiing for kids 12 and under with a Power Kids Pass, Snowbowl continues to be the place where Arizona learns to ski.”
The old Aspen Chairlift, dating back to the 1960s, has been retired and remains an important part of Arizona Snowbowl’s long history.
