A nice surprise to get some turns in this far south. At first there didn't seem like much hope, but then some trees were still holding some snow.Seems like a bad business model to build a non-north facing resort in arizona...
On the way up I started noticing tons of mountain lion poop, and then came across a huge carcass, looks like a Californian tourist didn't make it.
It was very windy, which probably kept the snow a little firmer which was nice.
I also found the highest toilet in arizona, unfortunately my tanks were empty and couldn't take advantage of it.
Keep the Stoke Going!

Their bad business model is arguably the worst there could ever be, taking into account the destruction of the environment and direct racist acts the resort has promoted through their absolutely ridiculous plans to expand. There is no ski resort with a more unsustainable orientation than the AZ Toielt-Bowl, period.However, touring in the SF Peaks is beyond a worthy use of one's time. Cool you two (three) made it down there.
