Night session fast sugar piles , sure hope it gets cold again soon, thin for late January 😢

No contest Snowbowl Mt Lemmon has a crazy ecosystem. Saguaros at the base of the mountain 2600’ Pines up top. The drive is fairly long almost an hour eventually pines up top and 180” average snowfall. Not much vertical but descent pitch in places. More a novelty to ski . There were some patches of snow around last April. Tucson was 95° and the top of the ski valley was 50° I liked hiking the granite moguls.

Oh yeah!!!!!! My son’s looking at Kutztown but maybe I can steer him towards Az lol . Maybe you can hook up with Rasingarizona13 he’s an awesome tour guide! He’s posting some other worldly pictures on NYSB https://nyskiblog.com/forum/threads/flagstaff-conditions.1172/page-13#post-50406

Unfortunately not till March or April. I was out last spring but conditions weren’t too good when I was out so I didn’t ski. Another AZ ski area getting the goods. It’s near Tucson of all places lol https://www.skithelemmon.com/

Nice!

The scenery or the cashier? If I get cheap or free ticket somewhere I’ll spend $ on insanely priced food. Although my wife was bitching about $38.00 for water and mac and cheese for her and my son at Az snowbowl. I did get rentals and a lift ticket for $49.00 in November so it balanced a bit.

I live pretty frugally and would continue to so. It would be a hobby as I tend to agree it would be a tough business model. One of the reasons I got out to Big Snow as I don’t think it’s sustainable. I’m rooting for them but with the big energy cost increases I think they have a tough road.

More like buy Blue Mountain and put a dome over all the slopes for year round skiing 💪🏼

Where’s my $2.00 🙃

Are you talking about Geothermal or something else ? I watched a Youtube video where someone built a box around there outdoor Minisplit section and buried corrugated pipe and used fans to circulate air underground. Interesting concept but I'm not sure if the piping would fill up with condensation. 2011 I went Geo after getting a 4K oil bill when oil price spiked. I kept my boiler for backup and domestic hot water.

Bear Creek had everything lit up , It looked like a Blizzard. Pretty strong wind blowing hopefully it goes where they want it to.

They are open tomorrow ......somehow .

How much are you paying for KWH ? So you made out by using electric heaters , it could have been worse.

How much Oil or Kerosene did you burn?

Or shut off your money like Canada did with the truckers protest. I hit Plattekill on storm Riley. Their CC system was down and all the other Catskills areas were out of power If you didn’t have cash you were “Denied “ to quote Suzee Orman . It was painful watching people turn away from 45” snowfall.

Word is they’re shooting to re open Sunday

The ride down 89A through Oak Creek canyon is tough to keep focused on the road as there’s so many sights to see. Have fun!

It will get cold again.

The last two lift poles on the Gondi line are freaking high . Pucker factor on the first chair ride ( Chondola ) Glad you got the goods!

Wow , it’s worth a trip to see the difference even if you go for Dinner and not ski . The lodge is top notch and I think they added some trails since then . And added hotel rooms. I think they get around $300.00 night . Every so often they let a trail bump up . It’s a good place for beginners. I haven’t been there to often even though it’s not far.

I’m assuming you meant me . Yup ,first job although I can’t complain about an unrestricted season pass for $75.00

One lift spinning. Not sure if they’ll be open till 9

🤢 🤮

Sounds like you’re really going to luck out. The gondola was closed again today. The upper part of the mountain will be untouched. Flagstaff, such a cool town I wouldn’t mind living there. I have a friend that goes out every summer. He was raving about a Mexican restaurant he found , turned out I stopped there too “ Salsa Brava “ Pictures please!
