Wing Mountain Snow Play Area

Most of the negative reviews seem to be because people drove up from the Valley and the park was overcrowded or closed. I mean, it’s kind of your fault too. Also, there’s so many nearby places to go sledding, all you have to do is ask the people at the gas stations that sell sleds on Route 180 as you head up to Wing Mountain. We had a great time with our 2 ½ year old and it was her first time sledding. Yes, it was a little crowded but all you have to do is go to the other side of the park. We had an entire area all to ourselves. Look, this place isn’t perfect but you have to expect huge crowds and the possibility that there may not be much snow.

This place is a mad house when there’s a lot of people there! There’s no real rhyme or reason on how it is all organized so make sure you are watching out for sledders when you are at the bottom.
The sleds for sale there is $ 20 and flemsy. Totally usable for that day and maybe one or two other times but it is definitely not made to last.
THere are port-​a-​potties so no fretting there.
The people that work there are kind of rude. There were kids encroaching on their living quarters but there were no clear signs not to be there. Instead of saying it nicely, they were yelling at them, «THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY! YOU NEED TO VACATE THIS AREA! YOU ARE TRESPASSING!»
It is a nice place to go but no good way to figure out if they are at full capacity. They will turn people away when there’s too many folks. I wish they did a better job at relaying to the public if they are full because it’s a one way windy street getting up there. What a pain to get to the top and be turned down.
Best way to get info is follow their FB page, I think.
Bottom line, definitely a lot of fun but I think things can go south quick making everybody cranky if they end up turning you down or you get seriously hurt from an accident. Also, there are plenty of other places to play in the snow without paying money to get in.

I wish they would post signs letting drivers know parking lot is full ahead of time! drove 1 hour in traffic to have to turn around 2 days in a row!

Unfortunately I didn’t read reviews prior to trekking up there. Their website and hotline both said they were open «with a foot of fresh snow». I certainly received a snowing when we arrived at the road after a long drive to be meet two disgruntled men waving people off with no explanation. After we were finally able to turn around and ask what was happening they rudely said they were closed and that «updating the site or hotline would not help». I wouldn’t bother making the trip again. Too bad someone with some business sense doesn’t compete and put these jokers out of business.

Checked the website for wing mountain said it was open today!!! Drove all the way up to flag from gilbert and it was closed!!! Not happy!!!

We came up from Tucson to come sledding and much to our surprise it was closed! There was nothing listed on their website warning people that they were closed. The hotline number that was listed on the website kept ringing busy so we could not get any updates. It was one of the locals that informed us that they were definitely closed and why. For people that are traveling from so far away they need to do a better job of keeping their website up to date and maybe adding additional hotlines so when people call for updates they actually get one.

Attenpted to go up there today, but by noon, it was closed. Instead going back to Flag, we found a place right off the road with a bunch of other families. People shared sleds and took turns going down the hills — we had a great time — just not at Wing Mountain. We would like to try to get there sometime, but I don’t look forward to leaving my house at 5am just to get a spot. Might try finding a different spot.

Do not go here! I was vacationing from California for 2 weeks, and my group decided to come here. It was posted online that admission was $ 10, but we were charged $ 15 instead! The hills for sledding were very dangerous, and kids had to climb up the sledding hills to get to the top, resulting in the children getting hit by sleds. We decided to get hot chocolate, and it tasted bland and watery! We ended up going to a place called Elk Ridge, and we had a much better time there. Don’t waste a single penny on this place!

Don’t waste your time! overcrowded

How horrible you post $ 10 on website and then charge $ 15 when people arrive!!! Have not even parked yet and already irritated. Guy taking our money was a real jerk about it too!

Sledding down the snowy hills was fun, but as more people came it seemed a bit unsafe. There is no way to brace yourself when you are going downhill and someone is trying to walk back up the hill. My husband started sliding down the hill when his sled took an unexpected detour, and he couldn’t slow himself down fast enough to avoid crashing into a kid that was walking back up the hill. It would be good to have someone at the bottom of the hills to direct people to a specific area to go back up the hill after they sled down.

We had a blast paying in this park. I know it is a little disorganized, but it is like a public park. You just pay for parking, so unless you want to pay for sledding, I don’t know how it would make sense to staff it. My twins we going up and down the hills forever. Until my little girl got cold. Her bib was a little short, so she got wet. That girl grows like crazy. I had to take her to the car and change her into her warm clothes and we waited in the car for another 45 minutes because my little boy was not done. My hubby had to trick him into following him so we could leave. I can’t wait to go back. We already bought larger snow pants for them as well as new gloves. I just have to get my sleds back, since we lend them away.

Headed there with my kids for some sledding over the holidays. The place itself is fantastic. Big hills, lots of space. Unfortunately, it’s not organized at all. Kids are climbing up the hills in front of the sleds that are coming down and getting wiped out! There are marked «climb here» paths but no one watching to make sure people use them. There is one giant hill that is a blast to go down, but spectators congregate at the bottom of it! At the bottom of this hill, sleds must be going 30 or so MPH. I watched sled after sled wipe out to avoid hitting onlookers standing at the bottom of the hill, many limping off injured.
All and all, this place would be great if it had some staff to ensure everyone’s safety but without it, go early or go in a snow storm when it’s not too crowded.
