TR: Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley, AZ
I was able to check this place out last weekend. Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley is above Tucson, AZ with a base elevation of 8200 ft, offering 900' of vert is the most southern ski area in the US. It is a rad throwback type ski area with $45 lift tickets, minimal amenities, great terrain, minimal grooming and no snow making. It is rare they are open for more than a month or two each season but when they are and the snow is good I think the skiing here would be as good as anywhere. If anyone isn't comfortable skiing here without a guide I can volunteer my services or knowledge.

You have dust on your sensor.
But otherwise, I rate this TR 2 sonoran dogs.

This will be my 47th season at Mt Lemmon Ski Valley, learned when I was 4. My old man is still the lone paid ski patroller, with a few volunteers to back him up. He's 80. This is by far the most positive review of Mt Lemmon that I have ever seen, congrats on your even-handedness and your rose colored lenses. I was actually there that afternoon, but the snow was bullet hard and shitty, so I left after 3 runs. Come up if it snows again!
Life is tough. It's tougher when you're stupid

Melts pretty quickly. Rode my road bike up there a few times...riding back down was prolly prolly better than skiing there.
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.
