friends of mine from Canmore went to southern Arizona in February just because it was the only place they could find with reliable climbing temps.
The area was Cochise Stronghold. It sounded good. Granite, lots of multipitch, mix of trad & sport (lots of bolts on the slabs apparently), no people. The novelty was a weird little nearby town with a good jazz bar.
These people roadtrip in the US lots & it was the only time they have gone in winter, which probably says something...
