    Bowan was awesome in helping us get our boards waxed so quickly before heading up the mountain.

    Even though I first learned how to ski over in Flagstaff, I spent many years here at Sunrise during…read moremy college years. The drive from Phoenix is just over 3 hours. I picked up most of my skills here at Sunrise in those early days. It is also the place that I first learned how to snowboard. Lately, I have been skiing in resorts outside of Arizona and haven't been making my way over here as much. I had never tried night skiing and recently made a drive up here one weekend. I ended up staying over in Pinetop. Sunrise Park Resort allows you to ski or board from 4:30 to 8pm on certain evenings. It is a separate ticket price and you can add it on to your day pass if you want to do a full day. I really enjoyed skiing under the stars. The only bummer is that they only have a few runs open for it. Sunrise Park Resort is located near Greer, AZ. It is owned and operated by the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Sunrise has 67 trails across three mountains. They rent out ski gear, offer lessons and even have skibobbing. Sunrise is usually only open for about four to five months during the winter season. There are a number of places to eat at if you want to grab a bite while here. Sunrise Park Resort has mountain biking and other activities during the summer months. The parking lot isn't the greatest on snowy days, but is spacious. The closest towns with hotels to stay in are Show Low, Pinetop, Greer, Eagar, and Springerville. There are some companies in the Phoenix area that offer travel deals for transportation and lodging.

    I feel like I need to write this review and give them a solid 4 stars as a lot of people on here…read morereally trashing the resort. I've been skiing for over 15 years, and this is a pretty solid ski resort. It's not going to be like Park City or Telluride or elsewhere, but honestly, where in AZ are you gonna find skiing that's a couple of hours drive from the Valley? Also, their daily lift prices are very reasonable if you don't want to be locked into all these seasonal passes. I found them to be a really good deal! Now, if you fly in, then yea, maybe you might be disappointed. It's still fairly early in the ski season, so only 3 lifts were open, and 8-14 trails open when I came here. But, during the week between Xmas and New Years, they have night ski, and that's mainly why I came, so I could finally experience this, and it was such an awesome experience. The lift price is so reasonable and from 4-8pm, there are fewer people and you have the mountain to yourself. The runs are very well lit, so it is not even necessary to carry your own light. Things that will make your experience so much better: - I bought my night pass and next day pass all together and avoided the line for the next day. I did see the line to get lift tickets was very long from 9am until 2-3pm. I think that's why there are so many bad reviews here because those lines were pretty ridiculous. - This place was insanely crowded on Dec 29th (Fri) when I came and there were long lines for food. I beat the line and got a beer at 11am as I had already been skiing for two hours and needed a break. Also, bring your own snacks if you can. At 11am on Fri and a holiday week, they were out of fries. I was thinking, this is going to be a crisis! I had snacks packed, so when I finished my beer (you can't bring in any outside food or drinks to the saloon pub), I went out onto the sunny patio and ate my snacks. - Get here early, by 9am, the lot was close to full. Get your lift tickets early and then just get right in line for the lifts. The later the day gets, the more people. After 12:30pm, the lines were pretty long! I recommend coming on a weekday or when night ski is available, way less people! Some things they could improve on: -The parking lot is one sloshy, muddy disaster. Wish they could either plow it or do something so the lot isn't so messy when the snow starts to melt. Also, there are quite a few potholes in the lot and the road coming into the resort could use some work, there was an icy stretch, and they could really salt that or just blow it. -They could do a bit better job at training their staff as each time I asked lift attendants about trails and lifts, they couldn't answer my questions. Overall, I had a great experience and got to ski for 1.5 days and enjoyed it! I'll be back again to ski and will plan when less people are here. -
