Alain has the only pair of Dynamic VR70s, with cracked aluminum sidewalls, I've seen since the 70s. They're on the wall in the back.

Good advice from Buster!!. But I would add that if you are lucky enough to have a powder day for your first day .don't hesitate to head to the top and do some hiking to west basin or Kachina basin.. My favorite was twin trees chute when I lived there...but it all depends on the pace of lift openings .. Sometimes it was best to do a few runs on Al's or Snakedance.. Because the lifts to the top were slow to open so patrol could finish their work on the steeper runs in West Basin..but the great front side bump runs are even more fun with powder so it was always good...
what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

So you've been there before?
Yes. Although, knowing a bunch of those old schoolers and RIP Max (he was the man!) I pretty much agree with this statement. But if you're an intermediate, or yes an advanced skier, you can pick up some tips from that school. They 'were' very good instructors. I say 'were' because that was years ago for me when I knew some of them. No idea today.

First did TSV in 1974 when Honeysuckle was called Rubezahl, second place I ever skied out west.
I had flubbed making the Nationals and USSA held the "losers" race for the next group of 100 juniors at TSV.
I've always had a baby face and remember going to order a pitcher of beer at one of the bars where the bartender clapped his hand over his eyes as he handed me the pitcher and glasses.
Got back there for a week in 1985 and then again a few times 2006-2016 with the family. Love the Abominable Snowmansion.
Got to hike Kachina the last year before the lift too. Bittersweet. Took the kids ages 13 & 11 up there the first year the lift was open.
Was my favorite mountain until Silverton came along.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

How is Taos skiing these days? Enough open to make a trip worth it? Maybe after this next storm?

It’s okay now, still a few more rocks than I’d like. After the next storm would be a good call.

Few inches during the week softened things up nicely in some places. In others it was dust on crust. Lots of down timber from the awful 100mph wind a month ago. A good SNOW storm is definitely needed.
