Places to Ski Within 1-Day Drive of Phoenix, Arizona
Ski season starts up soon! If you want to ski in Arizona your best bet is always going to be Snowbowl or Sunrise, however I’ve compiled a short list for future reference of some of the other places you can get to within a days drive.
- Taos, New Mexico (no snowboards allowed, interestingly)
- Telluride, Colorado
- Brians Head, Utah
- Big Bear, Califorina
- Sunrise, White Mountains Arizona
- Arizona Snowbowl, Flagstaff Arizona
- Mt. Lemmon, Arizona (does anybody actually ski here?)
Know of any other places or care to mention a specific resort? Leave a comment.
