Powder Dreams And Cactus Screams
Arizona Yard Makeover Cactus Approved
Local Spotlight
Uptown Farmers Market
Powder Dreams & Cactus Screams January is prime time for adventure at Arizona Snowbowl. By mid-winter, the mountain has usually been blasted with snowfall, and most trails—historically even the Upper Bowl—are open and calling your name. Sure, every season is different and nothing is guaranteed, but when Arizona gets its winter magic, Snowbowl transforms into a powder playground. Strap in, take a deep breath of that crisp alpine air, and launch into wideopen runs with the San Francisco Peaks towering around you. Whether you’re carving steep routes, chasing fresh powder, or racing your crew to the lift, Snowbowl in January brings the rush. The views are unreal, the energy is high, and the adrenaline hits fast.
LOCAL SPOTLIGHT
When your legs finally beg for mercy, warm up at the lodge, swap epic wipeout stories, and gear up for round two. January doesn’t last forever—so grab your skis, grab your friends, and conquer Arizona’s winter while it’s at its peak.
Uptown Farmers Market is run year-round, by a very small crew, in the heart of Phoenix, which allows us frequent face-to-face connection with our Arizona producers. This means that we have personally met, and correspond directly with, every single local grower, farmers, baker, creator and producer that you see listed on our website.

Arizona Yard Makeover:
Cactus Approved January in Arizona is the calm before the spring chaos, which makes it the perfect time to give your yard a little TLC. Start by trimming trees and shrubs—think of it as giving your plants a fresh New Year haircut. Snip off dead or broken branches so they don’t come crashing down during a windy day or invite unwanted creepy crawlies to move in. Next up: the irrigation system. Yes, it’s boring. Yes, you still have to check it. Run each zone and make sure your drip lines aren’t spraying the side of your house, your neighbor’s cat, or absolutely nothing at all. Fix leaks, unclog emitters, and adjust the timer so you’re watering plants—not puddles. Finally, clear out leaves, tidy up rocks or mulch, and pat yourself on the back. With just a little January effort, your desert yard will be happier, healthier, and ready to show off when spring hits. Plus, future you will be grateful you did the boring stuff early.
