Now get ready for the biggest surprise of your life when I tell you, Arizona is the best place for skiing holidays. Arizona is not all desert, the entire northern region of this gorgeous state has more snow than they know what to with. Flagstaff, Arizona offers the Grand Canyon for a side excursion and Snowbowl ski resort for traditional slopes and alternate terrain parks. Snowbowl is located north of the I-40 and Highway 180 on the San Francisco Peaks mountain range. Their snow holiday packages make for a cheap ski holiday for the entire family.
If you like remote American Indian country then you should consider the Sunrise Ski Resort owned by the White Mountain Apache Tribe. It is just south of Pinetop, Arizona and the local Hon-Dah Casino, a great place to stay on a skiing holiday. Sunrise has 65 runs and 1000′s of acres of wilderness for other snow holiday activities. This area is inexpensive, has flights into Show Low from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and many restaurants to choose from. The Sunrise Ski Resort and Lodge will also make this a cheap ski holiday with their inexpensive rates. Look out for local cabin rentals as well which include full kitchens and local amenities like the WME Village 8 Cineplex in Pinetop.
The snowbirds from Canada visit Arizona during the winter for the milder ski holiday climate, but if your preference is brisker then go to Canada. Alberta is due north of Phoenix and home to the Canada Olympic Park. Calgary, Alberta has ski holiday deals for every snow activity possible. The restaurants are superb and the lodging choices are numerous and varied. Bobsleigh rides, luge rides, the Olympic Hall of Fame and Museum are just the tip of the iceberg of activities for the family ski holiday. Obviously if you are a top skier then COP is the only place to visit.
Winter passes for all skiing holidays in the US and Canada are on sale and with the down economy, airfares are super low and snow and ski holidays are more affordable than ever.
