AZ UPHILL ACCESS
RESPECT
Arizona Snowbowl operates under a special use permit from the Coconino National Forest. Arizona Snowbowl enhances the use of your public lands by offering easy access to the Peaks, plowing Snowbowl road, use of the parking lots, supporting Flagstaff's unique community culture and outdoor recreation opportunities. Please keep in mind that uphill travel access is a privilege, not a right, on USFS permitted land.
PRESERVE
To continue a positive relationship with both Arizona Snowbowl and the USFS, safety protocols must be observed. It is crucial for the public to adhere to designated uphill travel policies to reduce risk to mountain staff and public.
ENJOY
Skiing on the Kachina Peaks is an awe inspiring and fulfilling activity. To ascend a mountain and travel down it is an excellent form of exercise, leisure, and motivation. However, to enjoy this activity within ski area boundaries, rules set in place to protect public safety must be followed.
TOURING ALTERNATIVES
Uphill travel in the Kachina Peaks Wilderness is always open by accessing either the Humphreys Trail or Kachina Trail.
Winter back country travelers are advised to be well versed in the inherent risks of skiing or hiking in potentially hazardous areas, including active avalanche terrain.
Visit for avalanche education and backcountry conditions.
