Elk Ridge is Arizona's secret snow spot but only when there's natural snowfall. You can expect short lines, super friendly locals, and don't miss the killer tree runs on the upper part of the hill. 05-06 season saw zero snow for the little resort, which has plans to blow its own snow in the near future. Make sure they're open before you venture out to this unknown territory.

Specials: Although the season pass prices change often, usually the earlier you buy the cheaper they are.
