Snow was good! Everything from ski rentals to service at the lifts were very good! It made for a really good trip for my family.

In response to previous post, Liftopia did offer a voucher/credit/refund due to the lift closures on Monday. Thank you liftopia!

Be prepared if you buy your tickets here on Liftopia and they close the mountain due to weather, you will not be able to get a voucher to ski on a different day. This happened to my family on Monday when Ski Apache closed due to high winds and no visibility. However, the ski shop in town didn't charge us for our skis.

Locals were very rude about cutting in line in front of us to buy their lift tickets. We had already prepurchased ours through Liftopia and just needed to pick them up. Additional people kept handing their money up the line to the person at the window. When we finally complained that enough was enough, the worker at the window threatened to make us move to another window and wait in yet another line. We liked the skiing but found the local people not very friendly. At other ski resorts,people talk to you while you are standing in line at the lifts, but here, only other people from Texas would small talk with you. Others would just look at you, like, why would I talk to you, I don't know you... Courtesies were lacking on the slopes as well. Don't know if I would go again, even though it was less expensive than several other places we have been to ski..

I have been here 4 times. Usually during early March.
Hang in the bowl to avoid the crowds.
There are a few good jumps in that area as well depending on terrain conditions.
