Sunrise Ski Resort - Hope

I feel like I need to write this review and give them a solid 4 stars as a lot of people on here really 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.

An amazing park that is operated so well. The snow is gorgeous, all around of the facilities are clean and organized, and all of the activities and concessions are affordable. We had three wonderful days of tubing, skiing, and snowshoeing. The lifts are awesome, and the runs are well groomed. So much fun!!!

Went skiing for the first time and had lessons with Cory. If y'all see me and my bestie in the skiing Olympics don't be shocked. My other friend had snowboarding lessons with DJ. She's literally the next Shawn White now. Jason was also amazing and so helpful. The staff made my first time ski experience so amazing I would highly recommend to anybody.

Absolutely not. Would be negative stars if k could rate it that. If you want the workers to verbally abuse you while you wait 2 hours to get a ticket that was already paid for and still being sent another 3 hour line to repurchase tickets without reimbursement , then you should definitely come here. The absolutely worst resort I 've ever been to no wonder I always choose Snow-bowl over this place and every other resort that isn 't Sunrise. They have 2 people working on a busy Saturday while there 's other workers walking around with their head up their you know what, and doing absolutely nothing but screaming at you. (Wish I got the workers name) Terrible service, terrible workers, terrible runs, broken lifts, terrible time. Only good thing I got out this was the $9 12 fl oz twisted tea.

Had a great time at sunrise park resort for New Year's celebrations playing in the snow nice base powder super soft even made snow Angels happy 2024 everyone! Cheers
