If it snows in like forecasted it'll be a bit to get the mtn open. Another 2 feet potentially. Big!

I'm with you especially when there's still pockets of fresh to be had.

Nice Buster! Nothing like traveling and scoring fresh!

First day at Taos.
It was great!
Nice pitch with a foot of snow!

Al's run to open; deep, soft and bumpy-lumpy.
Elicited whoops and hollers from the lift.
The hike was worth it:
Saint Bernard (WOOF-WOOF!)
And a nice Meatball Sandwich!! to end the day.

Yum.

Thanks for showing me around byates!

Nuking harder than ever now. Getting pounded. I don't think I've skied a week since Thanksgiving without a storm.

Nice. Did you plan ahead or storm chase? My better half was skiing there last week on a ladies trip and loved it.

More of a storm chase plus finally being priced out of Aspen and T'ride.
So much fun today slaying pow off chair 2, skied from 9:30 until 3:45, killed it with 2 laps down Als Runs sweet pow bumps. It just nuked all day. Nothing like a true deep pow day at Taos.

Did see a black jacket patrol come down from K basin area with air bag deployed accompanied by 5 others, all looking really grim. Neither chair 4 nor the K lift opened, it was truly nuts. Got the chair 7 rope drop again today and while it's mostly groimers, such a gas railing huDge honker virgin pow burners down there until it was schralped.

It was cool to make a few laps with byates who cruises a smooth arc. Hope your joints get better, let's link up some turns again.

[byates1]

It'll be hammered in 45 min

Hopefully tomorrow.

Old local I rode the chair with said probably open for hiking tomorrow. Lift on Saturday. made a mistake of going over to 4. Missed the North American and Ernie's opening. . Amazing how fast it gets bumped out.

Way too many ppl this am. I bailed. Enjoy Presidents weekend, I'm going Nordic skiing.

Old local was right. And it pays to ask patrol when Hunziker will open 'cause he might just say, "Yeah - it's open. Let me go up and drop that rope."

Hike to Kachina nearly kilt me, but was worth it.

Kid thought it was all great fun.

[emoji16] it's a long way, thin air, for a little vert. Skinning up the face is so much easier.

Fkna. I was just saying I'd trade 2 weeks in Jh for a 4 day storm in Taos.

I am already regretting not joining you for this loop. Fuck me.

Saw the forecast on Sunday night, got a flight Monday morning, and made it to the mountain just before the snow started. First time at Taos. Thought it was great even with just the main chair spinning. Some locals grumbled about crowds. Even first/worst chair we waited maybe 10 minutes? Snow kept falling Tuesday and Wednesday keeping conditions relatively soft despite how quickly things got "tracked out". Stuck around Thursday and caught the rope drop on Lorelei and North American. A really cool place.

Buddy having fun on Tuesday:


Brief shenanigans:

[skaredshtles]

Kachina lift opened today - lift line was probably 15 whole minutes when we headed up for a lap around 11:30.

Other lift lines were negligible during the day.

Kid sniffed out an El Funko rope drop - that shot was good for 3 laps before it was mostly tracked out.

By 1:30 the lift lines at Kachina were gone, so we did another couple laps up there before finishing with a Spencer's -> Edelweiss finish.

Now to go get some more chile rellenos.
