Winter Sports

It's true! Arizona does get snow!

Skiing/Snowboarding

Some of the finest downhill skiing in the entire Southwest can be found at Sunrise Park Ski Area between Eagar and Pinetop-Lakeside. Sunrise is a modern facility and can provide the visitor with everything from lodging to babysitting.

Sledding/Tubing

There is an area in Williams Valley west of Alpine that is very popular for tubing. This site offers opportunities to sled, toboggan, or tube down the slope. Additionally, forest users often venture out to their own favorite locations.

Snowmobiling

Although there are few designated snowmobile trails, roads that are inaccessible to other vehicles at this time of year offer many miles of ready-made trails. One recommended snowmobile route, however, is from the Williams Valley area west of Alpine on FR 249 to Big Lake. 

XC Skiing/Snowshoeing

There are four areas that are recommended for cross-country skiing although there are endless other routes that could be selected: Hannagan Meadow south of Alpine, Williams Valley west of Alpine, Pole Knoll and Greer west of Springerville, and Forest Lakes west of Heber.
