Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort is officially set to open their slopes in less than 100 days, with skiing and snowboarding scheduled to begin on Friday, November 21st, 2025, if weather permits.
Opening Day at Arizona Snowbowl
Opening day at Arizona Snowbowl on November 21st comes with a multitude of exciting, on-mountain improvements. That includes improved tree glading along the gondola lift line to create some of the best advanced tree runs in Arizona, upgraded snowmaking on the Hymphreys Chairlift terrain, and a new rental fleet, improved wifi, and other major resort enhancements.
Last year, Arizona Snowbowl celebrated their earliest opening, a closing date on June 1st, and 185 total days of operation. With the new snowmaking improvements, it’s possible their season reaches a similar length this year.
