Pima • Southern Arizona • AZ
💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •Check conditions carefully—the resort only opens with adequate natural snow
- •The Catalina Highway drive is stunning but can be icy; carry chains
- •Arrive early on powder days as parking fills quickly
- •Bring cash—card services can be spotty
- •Combine with stargazing at Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter
What Dan Packs
Winter changes everything. These make the difference between suffering and enjoying:
Smith Ski Goggles
EssentialUtah powder means flat light. Good goggles are the difference between seeing terrain and guessing.
Hand Warmers
For lift rides. Cheap insurance against frozen fingers.
Helmet with MIPS
EssentialTrees are unforgiving. MIPS technology reduces rotational impact.
