A couple months ago we were planning an Az trip after my son was done with college.His older brother moved to Tucson for a three year assignment and is back east . We came out for a visit and really loved the state so we’ve been back a couple times.

Planning this trip in my mind there was no chance to ski but as the date got closer I was thinking maybe? Then they extended their season! Yes!!! …….No!!!! . We were stuck in Philly with the American Airlines Fubar on Saturday. Delayed  then boarded and told we might un board😡 Then they unloaded the luggage from the earlier flight 😳People waiting 3hrs plus for their luggage!!! Finally off but 3hrs late. 

Fortunately I made it to Snow Bowl by 10:30 with 46° and the upper mountain in the 20’s winds ripping at 35.  They got an inch overnight and some rime ice. Conditions were mashed with a little sugar and some marbles, pretty firm till about 1:30 and softened nicely. The lower 1/8th of the mountain was flypaper and upper was full on winter.
Skied till closing at 4 pm

 

 

and totally whooped.

Crazy that they started off so bad, but are still skiing.  i think i saw on the web they were calling it 6 months of skiing.
