This ski resort is my home resort!
Its a quick 2 hr drive from Phx and is a great way to stay active in the skiing world! I am very happy with the new updates and the new bathrooms they have placed this year and excited to head back on a event day!

Went towards the end of the season and enjoyed pretty good snow for Az. All the runs were good and lifts had almost no line because we went on a weekday. There is a good variety for all levels of skiing and snowboarding.

Man made snow is pretty good and wasnt to icy on the day we went. Lift lines were pretty fast and it was pretty crowded but took less than 5 minutes to get on the lifts. Elevation is pretty high and breathing was a little labored by the end of the day. Overall a fun place to go.
