Thumbs up AZ guys, Mount lemmon is completly white

I can't let this pass because I have many friends from Phoenix and Sierra vista that comes to Tucson to do the cruise at Mount Lemmon.

Guys Mount Lemmon in Tucson is absolutely white plus they opened the ski station . Wait a minute, Am I talking smack? Snow?, Ski station in the middle of the desert? what is Carlos talking about?, yes we do have a ski station at 8000 ft here in Tucson, is not just all flat desert. We do have an inmense 100 ft tall pine forest in the mountains and we do have lakes at top as well.

Come and have fun. I am aware many of you come from Phoenix and Sierra Vista. Catalina mountains, Kitt peak,madera canyon, oro valley is all snowy, it is worth coming to Tucson and see the valley all full of snowy mountains surrounding the city.. Don't miss it!!

Pictures from Mount Lemmon drive today. The pictures are inverselly downloaded meaning that the sunset pictures are the last pictures taken .

To see th pictures in a larger format simply move the cursor outside the picture and move back inside the picture again. You will have the option of making the pictures bigger.

I hope you have a different idea on how Tucson surroundings are. Enjoy.

It was a blast, I was actually vividly remembering the few spots where other fellow Evo members spun 180 degrees.

This is the time where I seen the most snow. The snow was present anywhere above 4500ft. We went all the way to the ski station, the place was packed with people snowboarding.

Having a AWD is just a blessing, having a Evo is just a dream, we were driving like on rails while everyone was hitting the brakes consistently.

an awesome drive carlos and some great pics. I went back up there mon. with the wife and she loved it. She got a little scared at the bottom but she made it through. She wasnt happy when I pulled a 180 on one of rays country roads by his house trying to catch up with you though. Cut me a deal on those cams bro. Later

HAHAHA ladies ladies ladies... what can I say, Evo9grl (Socorro) almost threw up during the rapid ascent to Mount Lemon that I performed during the first section of ascent.

As far is at Ray's house, I drifted all four when I hit full boost exiting Ray's house, then tons of fun on those curvy desert roads...

Call me tomorrow about the Cams, I think I already have your name etched on the cams
