Yeah it's recovering nicely. There are still alot of burnt trees, but many of them survived and are putting out new growth. Also Summerhaven is still being rebuilt, but it's looking good so far. Fortunatly Ski Valley was untouched so once you get up there it's really beautiful.

I remember the fire well (I was attending UofA at the time) and it was pretty scary, even being pretty far away on campus. Even my family in Prescott had a brush with fire as their neighborhood was evacuated when the fire started getting too close to people's homes. Forest fires suck.
