I think it was the '93-'94 season we lost 3 people. Not an avi, but head injuries. One was a young kid, maybe 13, skating on Rubezahl and went off the edge of the firm groomer and highsided into a tree. His parents were part time ski instructers. They were the first people I saw wearing helmets free skiiing after that incident.
That was a brutal snowpack year though. Kachina ripped out huge and they had to shut down lift 4 for a few days to clean up the debris with the cats. Same time Dog leg ripped out and hit the house I was living in on Cliffhanger.

Sorry to hear, not to downplay but as is so often, could have been much worse.

Was the chair running, or was this just a hike day?

I worked at the sv one year and
That was the sketchiest upside down snow pack I've ever seen. There was a 1-2' styrofoam like crust and every so often you would punch through it to about a foot or two of sugar. Sometimes it was just air. So the whole snowpack was floating off the ground. Even sounded hollow skiing on it. I was ready for that whole thing to go.

01-18-2019, 07:32 PM #408According to KOAT Albuquerque, the family has identified the deceased as Matthew Zonghetti of Massachusetts.
Zonghetti, age 26 and a lifelong skier, reportedly took annual ski trips with his father, who was at the mountain’s base when the avalanche occurred. As of Friday afternoon, the other victim, currently unidentified, remains in critical condition at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, a spokesperson has confirmed.
Brutal...

Sounds very unfortunate. So sad for a 26yo to die in an avalanche skiing in bounds. Keenly interested in any analysis to come.

Finished up a 3 day on Tues. Skiing well overall, 1" mini-pow day on Tues and 9 hikes to tie my personal record. The high traffic areas are showing wear and you WILL hit rocks, but overall no major damage.
High somewhere, T-bird trees were pretty good in W basin, but more snow needed for the bigger entrances. Stauf/Trib nice and chalky. Accidently dropped in Turbinator which is 190cm wide right now.
Bummer to not have Kachina spinning as that really opens up some fun lines. K3 slid down to rocks, but K1 and main street look well covered. Patrol was poking around lower K3, supposedly there were hollow pockets underneath the new snow. Nice snow and good coverage off Highline.

Reporting 20” from Le Ski Mastery roof.
Marketing department is on point it as a big storm + weekend crowds resulted in 8-ish minute lift lines at chair 1 and 2. Unheard of at TSV. But great to see commerce at our otherwise ghost town ski area.
Untracked all day if you know where to look.
We’re bringing the leisure back into powder skiing. Posi vibes only.
Hopefully Kachina hike to only on Tuesday and I’ll have worked myself out of a job.

Taos is a cool place, glad they are finally getting the goods. Climate change is slowly putting them out of business.
