Enjoy an Arizona Winter
Apache-Sitgreaves, with its high elevation, is one of the few spots in Arizona where you can drink a deep draught of winter. Popular winter activities include snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Greer and Alpine are the region's cross-country skiing hubs, but this activity is by no means confined to those two areas

. Ski rentals are available in Alpine, Forest Lakes Estates, Greer, Springerville, Hannagan Meadow, and the Lakeside-Pinetop area.

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.

Downhill Skiing:  Sunrise Ski Area, on Fort Apache Indian Reservation near Pinetop-Lakeside, is a low-key family ski hill with mostly intermediate and beginner trails.

A small downhill ski operation is located near the community of Greer.
