TL;DR
Arizona Snowbowl advertised eight $1 lift ticket days this winter. Go looking and only three are showing - 10 March, 1 April and 10 April - so the rest may already have gone. The consolation is a calendar full of $9 days, including all but one day in April. Opening day is 20 November, weather permitting, and opening weekend is $19.
Arizona Snowbowl advertised eight $1 lift ticket days for 2026-27, but only three were showing online in early October.
A check of the resort's online ticket calendar turned up $1 tickets on Wednesday 10 March, Thursday 1 April and Saturday 10 April 2027. The other five dates were nowhere to be seen. They may have sold out already, though that is a guess rather than anything Snowbowl has confirmed. The Flagstaff resort is scheduled to open on 20 November, weather permitting, after spending more than $1 million on improvements.
The $9 Days Do the Heavy Lifting
The cheaper end of the calendar is still well stocked. Opening Friday and Saturday, 20 and 21 November, are $19. Every day from Sunday 22 November to Friday 27 November is then $9, with Saturday 28 November at $29. December follows a similar rhythm, with most weekdays up to 17 December at $9 and weekends between $15 and $29.
Prices climb from 18 December. Christmas week runs from $25 to $35 between 21 and 25 December, and 31 December and 1 January are both $79. The first week of January drops back to $9 from Monday 4 to Thursday 7 January.
Spring is where the bargains stack up. March has $9 days on 1 to 4, 22 to 26 and 28 to 31 March, though the stretch from 5 to 21 March runs between $39 and $69. In April, every date shown bar Saturday 3 April ($39) is $9 or less, and the calendar runs to Sunday 25 April. Whether every April date runs will depend on how much snow the winter delivers.
Arizona Snowbowl says more than half of its scheduled operating days are priced at $9 or less. Across the dates checked from 20 November to 9 January and from March to April, roughly six in ten were.
