Greetings !

I've been told and read that Mt. Lemmon is an excellent place to ride, and was recomended to try it as I enjoy climbing. My question is whether it's decent to ride this time of year or not. I understand that their is a ski resort there, so that has me worried as to whether I'll be able to ride much of it without encountering terrible weather conditions and snow.

Has anyone rode up it recently, and have a good description of the conditions?

Thanks for your help !

They are skiing on top of the Lemmon right now.
Pedal up as far as the snowline and then come down. Bring a jacket and stuff for the descent, you'll need it.

Thanks for the help, guys ! I met a few people on Bikejournal, and we're going to head up there closer to April.

I saw someone up there walking their bike in the snow while descending.
