FYI, Southwest has a direct SEA to ALB which provides the best access to NM and SW CO skiing, plus car rental there is like half of DIA or DRO.
i like the old square in ALB way more than the one in SF. Much better deals on turquiose for the lady.
See, useful!Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

No shade intended. Just saying it wouldn't totally shock me if it were true.
FWIW i had the best meal of my life a couple years ago at Cafe Juanita (and have been to a handful of single star and one two star place in my adult life to compare to). But, different strokes for different folks, and the lack of stars didnt make the experience any less awesome for us.
So ABQ closer to crested butte/silverton, but Santa Fe closer to Taos. Correct?

We've been to CJ twice and didn't like it.
I enumerated others, I don't think any of them approach a M *.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Perhaps OP should consider Albuquerque
For me, if you’re going to splurge on a meal around here it’s Barking Frog.

FWIW - I spend a fair amount of time up in Seattle, but have been "gone" for 13 years. I think someone like me still a lot of perspective to offer. My family came to WA in the 1890s and I've had family in Seattle-proper for over 100 years. All my extended family and my wife's family still live in Western WA; most all our school/college friends. Meaning: I draw from a lot of personal experience, but also a pretty big well of acquaintances to understand what's going on up there. I'm not naive to think Seattle is still the way I grew up experiencing it, but there's more to it's existence and evolution than what current issues expose.
People who moved to Seattle 5/10/15 years ago (and, per the anecdotes on this thread: likely socialize with people similar to themselves), probably don't have the same understanding/perspective as people who've been around for decades. Neither are wrong or right, but I think everyone has something to offer. And the freeze is real; my family of old Scandinavians roles that hard.
Glenwood represent! Damn, I do love some Jilbertitos when I'm down there and hungry!
But I do love a Gorditos when I'm up in N Seattle!

The freeze isn't just a Seattle thing, it's like a NW thing. After 13 years I don't have any regular friends beyond activity acquaintances like Mag's I occasionally hook up with on the hill. In the NW people are friendly, but no one wants to be your friend.
I guess I had a different experience in Texas than ptavv. I felt like I had new friends all the time.Training for Alpental

No, SF is closer to all of them, but there's no direct flights from SEA.
We explored a lot of different routes from SEA down that way and found ABQ to be the best flight for the family. I'd drive all our stuff down and ski SkiSF, Taos, Wolf Creek, Purgatory, Silverton, Telluride and even made it to Aspen and CB a few times.
SF is very cool, lots of art and money and SkiSF is a great hill with some cool patrollers. Windiest access road evar.
ABQ has a lot of rough neighborhoods, but I thought the old square there with it's church and adobe is grittier and more real than SF.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Thanks for the inspiration to grab a burrito from El Camion today.
I'll have to give Gorditos a try soon too.

Um.. have you seen the price of a decent home espresso system?
Check out TGApps thread. Super Cheap it is not.
I brew my own coffee and like the results,, but don't have much more than $300 invested in my setup. To the coffee guys that's like skiing on rentals with rear entry boots.

I’m a big fan of the concinita pibil from el camione, makes for a yummy burrito. Good beans in a French press the way to go, I like lighthouse but there are lots of good options. We should start a tasty cheap food in the pnw thread as I could use more spots.
As for the area it is crowded expensive and rains all the time but the MTB and bc skiing are hard to beat for near a city with jobs in this country.

At least pizza in the PNW is amazing.
Right?
