  1. Still skiing! Today makes 20 days this year…season ends tomorrow…already scheming to make 25-30 days next year!
  2. My buddy sent me this pic from this morning - his car is on the right ❄️
  3. Sometime in next 2 weeks - Road trip!
  4. Yeah...I think TSV has a public use agreement with Carson National Forest that sets a limit on the amount of user days in a ski season so since Taos chooses to open on Thanksgiving weekend every year, the days run out by first week in April every year. I have seen them extend the season on some years by a week when the snow is good and this year it would seem like they would,,,,,
  5. Taos is getting a serious dumping! Glorious powder skiing yesterday - I was maybe 30th person in lift line at 9 am for fresh tracks and I made fresh track runs on backside blues and easy access blacks for over an hour before those runs got tracked out….Snowed all day yesterday (too bad I had to leave) and all night - too bad it’s only open 2 more weeks ….
  6. Classic spring skiing in Taos this week- higher elevation runs still holding up well. Lower trails turning to mash potatoes after lunch …..strong and cold storm supposedly headed to Rockies on Sunday
  7. IMG_4030.MOV Top of Kachina Peak today
  8. Yes. Main Street is most straightforward run on Kachina and less steep for most of the run than the other ridge runs...As always, photo doesnt show how steep it really is...There are a couple of choke points at midway point and lower part of run where it gets steeper where you cannot traverse out of it and if you fail to execute several tough turns, you will slide for awhile - that is what makes it double black for the most part - those 2-3 choke points...otherwise, like skiing Al's Run....
  9. Yeah it was windy - bummed that I lost my last ski day of this trip but after 4 beautiful springlike days, yesterday would have been a beating even if not windy as it was overcast and the hard pack would not have softened up like last few days with the sun….on positive note, several waves of storms coming in March ! Main Street off of Kachina:
  10. Sunny springlike conditions in Taos - snow still holding up well considering no snow in last 10 days but def needs a refill. Looking like Monday thru Wed another much needed storm is coming ! Photo 1 - Signage at entrance to Kachina Lift which was open today. Photo 2 - Hunziker Bowl
  11. Received this as a gift this past weekend. Haven’t opened it yet. Apparently only available in Japan….anyone tasted it ?
  12. Taos - 34” storm and almost 70” base - prime time !
  13. Another free refill day today in Taos! The ski gods are smiling on me this year!
  14. This is back of Snakedance Condos - the back door is a ski locker room where you keep your skis boots etc. Boot up in the locker room and walk out this door and ski or walk 30 yards to Lift #1 (see new construction of St Bernard Hotel on right…soon to be the most luxurious lodging in TSV with the best location)
