Where can I go snow tubing in AZ?

The words "snow" and "Arizona" don't seem like they should belong in the same sentence, but the northern half of the state actually sees quite a bit of the white stuff every winter. One of our favorite places to go snow tubing in AZ is:

  • Flagstaff Snow Park is located in the snowiest city in the Grand Canyon State.
    • Typically open from mid-December through mid-March, the park offers multiple snow tubing lanes, so you can race all of your friends and family to the bottom.
    • There's a special, smaller hill for kids, and tubes are included in the price of admission.
