Mt Lemmon is without a doubt one of the coolest, most interesting, visually striking places we have had the pleasure of hiking, so do yourself a favor and stick to that. The unpleasant people who work at the Ski Valley shop are some of the rudest most argumentative people. We were extremely disappointed by a miscommunication on their end and while we understood there was nothing that could be done we were offered no apology, no acknowledgment of mishap and were certainly offered no solutions to try and remedy the situation. It might just be me, but if I make a mistake I always try to come up with solutions that make people feel as thought I at least care about the outcome. Not sure whether these people are jaded from working at a seasonal resort, just plain don’t care about anyone or anything, or don’t have the capacity to problem-solve but whatever it is it makes for an unpleasant encounter if you have to deal with them in any capacity. We made the long drive up the Ski Valley two days in a row and both days wished we hadn’t stepped foot in that little shop. The rest of Mount Lemmon however is STUNNING. I’m talking take-your-breath-away stunning. Windy Peaks were incredible, Oracle Trail was awe-inspiring, the quaint little town is so unique and friendly and Sawmill Run is the perfect place to grab a burger after a day of hiking, great food! Almost anywhere you stop to take in the views or go for a hike is inspirational and has such varied climates! The bottom is all rock ledges saguaros and thorny brush, while the top (when we visited) is snow capped covered in beautiful tall pines and feels more like Colorado than the middle of the desert! All-in-all Mount Lemmon has so much more to offer and while we’d never step foot in that ski shop again we will absolutely be back to admire the beauty and majesty of Mount Lemmon. It is truly a special place.Edit: I filtered through some other reviews to see if our experience was isolated and it seems everyone who has to deal with these people especially that awful gray haired sniveling woman Becky have an unpleasant experience. Becky, please retire. Then you won’t have to take your unresolved anger and bitterness out on people who travel thousands of miles to see what you obviously take for granted.

Killer chiller. Where else in the world can you go skiing in the morning In the states, and swimming in the Pacific Ocean in Mexico in the evening?

If your going up and there is snow be sure to check online to see if the road is open without restrictions. Sometimes it's required to have 4wheel drive or snow chains. If the road is open without restrictions it's well worth the drive up. If going to the restaurant at the top they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays along with the lifts etc.

If you have the attitude that some skiing is better than no skiing, you will have fun. I have skied there hundreds of times. Tends to be icy in the mornings and slushy in the afternoon especially sunny side cat walk. It seems to be ran on a shoestring budget, maybe rightfully so. I would never rent equipment there but I don't know what they have now. Kind of a look back in time when skiing had soul before these mega corps. Unfortunately their snow has become less and less reliable. Thankful they keep the area open.

The second time I went up there. This time I took an old Marine buddy from Michigan who came to visit me while I'm doing the snowbird thing. It's a fun drive up and the view just gets better as you climb up in elevation. They were still skiing when we went up a few days ago.

Love to come up to Mt. Lemmon! We live very close and Mt. Lemmon is a place we come to often, whether it's to enjoy the snow, to camp for a nite or two or to just have a picnic, cook on the grill, walk up to Rose Canyon Lake. Lot's to do up here. Many hiking trails to enjoy! Normally 20 to 30 degrees cooler than Tucson a great way to cool off on a hot day.

There’s not a lot of room to park, which means you get space on the mountain. Get there too late and you’ll have to come back another day! Vibe is very relaxed. The beginner lift leads you to a path you have to follow for a bit then take the short bunny slope down. I’ll be back here on days when I want to start early and take it easy.
