Industry News
In January last year, Arizona Snowbowl, Arizona, became the first ski resort to charge over $300 for a lift ticket. The resort uses dynamic pricing using a tiered system that determines the price of lift tickets based on demand. Fast forward to April, and tickets are now selling for less than $20. Midweek prices are typically $19 per day, making it one of the cheapest lift tickets in the United States, in stark contrast to prices last January. This spring, Arizona Snowbowl has even more special offers on top of their low lift tickets. For new skiers and snowboarders, you can get a FREE 2-hour Snow Experience Lesson with the purchase of a World’s Best Spring Break lift ticket. They are also offering free skiing to kids 12 and under with the Power Kids pass. They are also offering a $10 resort credit, which can be used on food or gear at the resort with the purchase of any adult spring ticket.
Arizona Snowbowl is seven miles north of Flagstaff in the San Francisco Peaks mountain range in northern Arizona. The resort has 777 skiable acres and first opened for skiing 85 years ago, in 1938. Its base elevation is 9,200 feet, and it gets 260 inches of snowfall on average each year. It’s peak is 11,500 feet, which gives the resort the most vertical in Arizona, at 2,300 feet, which is accessible by six chairlifts, including a high-speed gondola/chair hybrid lift, and two lodges, Hart Prairie Lodge and Agassiz Lodge.
