Oh, and everything is more expensive. Being at the eastern edge of the rocks, the bumps aren't bad. I don't rember having a rough ride going in there. I've landed there about ten times, mostly in the winter although it has been about ten years. According to Airnav the ramp fee last February was $8.00. I'de pay that. They have cheap fuel too. From Phoenix it is the fastest place to go skiing, door to lift. You can do it in two hours with a Mooney. I have flown up in the morning, skied all day and flown home. Quote

It's bad times with howling upper winds 2 nights parking plus ramp runs about 40 dollars. But hotels and everything else get much more expensive in the winter. Edited October 6, 2016 by peevee Quote
