I got to take a rare opportunity yesterday (March 01st) and SKI -- ARIZONA!! I know... most of the time when you think of ARIZONA - you might ONLY think one thing... "It's HOT there - isn't it!?" Well... yes it is - about 7-8 months out of the year - it's FREAKING HOT to say it mildly! (Which isn't so bad - b/c GOLF goes down in rates nearly 75%) However... in the Winter months - the elevation of Arizona is from one extreme to the other and in the HIGH COUNTRY (North/Northeast) - the elevation reaches upwards 6000-8000 feet - and that produces ONE THING in the WET Season - SNOW (lots of it)! And boy have we had a WET WINTER here in Arizona - even the DESERT is GREEN - it might need to be MOWED soon! We were able to break away for a DAY (COC Staff Guys) and head up to SUNRISE Ski Resort (NE AZ) and Ski for the day on about a 48-60 inch base - IT ROCKED!!!!! I've been Snow-Skiing quite a bit and the SNOW yesterday rivaled ANYTHING I've ever seen in Colorado - not too mention (minus) the TRAFFIC on the SLOPES - wasn't a bit busy!!! Totally wanna give a 'shout-out' to our good friend TOM BLEVINS for hookin' us up at his brother's cabin for the night!
A look on the lift...
To cap it all off - we hit GRUMPY JAKE'S BBQ on the way back down the 'Mountain' - which is nothing short of spectacular! Truly some of the best BBQ I've ever had - who would of 'thunk-it' - a little 'HOLE in the wall' in SHOWLOW, AZ!!! Un-STINKIN-Believable! If you're ever in that neighborhood - do yourself a favor...
