1. Hit the Slopes at Ski Sapphire Valley
Ski Sapphire Valley opened mid-December and the excitement continues as the new snow guns fire up and keep a great base on the slopes. Whether you’re carving down the main run or easing into winter on the bunny slope, the resort’s relaxed, family-friendly vibe makes it perfect for beginners and casual skiers. And when the sun dips behind the ridge, area food and beverage spots offer great apres ski. [Ski Sapphire Valley] [Resort Food and Beverage]
2. Snow Tubing at the Frozen Falls Tube Park
For pure, kid-like joy, nothing beats racing down the snow tubing lanes at Frozen Falls. Riders can link up or fly solo as the magic-carpet lift carries everyone right back to the top. It’s one of the most popular winter activities in the Valley — no skills needed, just a sense of adventure and a warm hat. [Tube Park Info]
3. Enjoy the Cozy Amenities at the Sapphire Valley Community Center
When the weather turns chilly, head indoors to the Community and Rec Centers for swimming, fitness, mini-golf, or relaxing by the fireplace. It’s a great “middle-of-the-day” option when you’re thawing out from morning turns on the slopes. Kids love the arcade and crafts; adults love the warmth and a chance to slow down.

4. Take a Scenic Winter Walk on the Fairfield Lake Trail
Fairfield Lake is peaceful and quiet in December, with mist rising from the water and snow-dusted evergreens lining the shoreline. The trail is easy, beautiful, and perfect for capturing winter photos without needing heavy gear. Bring a thermos of something warm and enjoy a calm loop around Sapphire Valley’s prettiest natural spot.
