So... I'm a novice skiier. But even for me, this place was kind of subpar. The "lodge" is basically a big cafeteria with cafeteria food, nothing special and certainly not somewhere you'd want to relax between runs. The green runs were groomed well but the blues were pretty bad. The pro of course is that it's so close to Phoenix so it's really easy to drive up and hit the slopes. You can easily do this as a day trip.
