FS: Taos Season Pass

[lacrossebowe8]

For sale is a voucher good for one Taos value season pass. I won it at a Taos Air party. I have an Ikon pass and won't make it to Taos for more than 7 days this year so the pass is of limited use for me. It is valid with no more blackout dates for the rest of the season and would be worth it for anyone heading to Taos for a few days. Please let me know your best offers.

Thank you!

I've got a very old friend who lives in Taos and is a ski nut who couldn't afford a pass this year. If you are willing to do a very good deed and pass it on for a very reasonable amount, I know he would use the hell out of it.

Let me know via PM or my username at gmail.

Thanks. I'm sure he would gladly film a bagpipe performance in your honor.

I rode bikes with said bagpiper many years back and he is indeed a good human. Hope it works out!

[MakersTeleMark]

There is a semi-famous picture that I took of him when we were biking some obscure upper elevation taos singletrack across the valley to some above treeline lake. I was hauling ass, he was too, but with a bike from the 80's. I greased off a corner and landed a good 40' down pinned against a tree. I was crumpled under my bike, but laughing so hard. Had time to snap a pick of the extrication looking way up at him looking down at me because I was yelling like a , yelling.

It's classic. Not even to mention the bc missions and moto missions we've done. Chaining up the tin roof guys in their big ass work box truck through 2 feet of mud for a legit over a mile with my military truck on his wedding eve was a highlight. I couldn't afford a gift, but getting those guys out served. So sorry I got drunk and blasted off a box of shells at 4 in the morning ruining his nuptuals, but he got me back once I passed out the next morning. My ears rang for a day. He just grabbed my gun, reloaded, and let loose 1 inch from my head.

Dude is legit, and one of my best friends.

Another one. I was on a moto trip down to southern Arizona from central Colorado. I did an iron butt (1000 in a day) on april 1st (Very early for CO, and my first ride of the year) and found out my girlfriend was cheating on me when I got to her place. That was an April fools on me I guess.

I rode back up, but got completely smashed in a big pow dump and stopped completely fucked at his off the grid place on the mesa.

He and Brenda not only put me up, but when I got the call that my Mom was on her death bed, drove me to Burque to catch a flight to deal with my last moments and the entire thing. I showed up a month later to pick up my bike a complete wreck, just like I was when I arrived, and the arms couldn't have been more open. He played me a very gentle ripple as I dumped a gallon of tears on the floor.

That's just a couple of memories. So many more. I did do his estate planning at least. And one visit I installed a new wood stove with him which was huge. Those things are heavy and a bitch. Took us all day cursing.

A couple weeks later I told him I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday.

And then there was the porn shoot I did in his shop (the lighting, endurance, and kink was on point) with this girl from Chicago I met at the brewery (he cooked blue corn pancakes for breakfast, the shots are very ULLR thread worthy), or the surprise visit with some Stringduster tickets I brought, or him and Brenda dragging me to the supermarket to stock me up on beans and food because I couldn't eat, or me giving elk hinting tips to him, and well, it goes on and on. Indy (he sets the record for most people in the back of a 22re (18 in the bed with full gear, bitching about how slow everyone else is going) he even stopped to grab a road kill grouse to grill for dinner, Liam, fack. Stop me.

Last time I saw him and Brenda was for our annual 5 year Telluride BG reunion. I stayed up all night after aftergrass and went to the farmer's market. Came back with an entire leg of lamb, beets, and potatoes and smoked out Warner Field for 3 hours before shit got going. Good times.

And there's another good one on how I ended up with the plate.



Shit, I remember hiking up from the German place in the woods for the wedding, and the throwdown at the lodge.

Damn. He's a Taos boy at this point. At least 30 years.

I concur and declare that any mag extend to this fine bloke anything they would to either of us.

[lowsparkco]

Glad to hear it worked out. I'm sure someone's happy to have a pass. Good on ya, lacrossebowe8!

[ill-advised strategy]

I am warmed to hear good things are happening out there.

[Cruiser]

This is all well and good but Taos is flat. There, I said it.

It's in a god damned desert for fuck's sake. Skiing? Whaddaya get towed through the sagebrush behind a monster truck?

[lacrossebowe8]

The monster truck tow sounds fun... Glad that someone is going to have a great season. Also honored to be called a mag with my paltry double digit posts.

Yeah, but you got two zeroes in your join date. That shows a certain amount of tenaciousness.

[ex-powderbroker]

I, for one, always appreciate a happy ending.

[Danno]

Less than 2 posts a year, over 11 years, is impressive.

[Danno]

Piper just posted a very happy pic on FB. He's stoked!

If his photo was from today, maybe even a bit more than normal.

Thanks again lacrossbowe8.
