Just finished up a quick 3 days at my favorite mountain Taos Ski Valley. This was the first time that we’ve gone as a family and I didn’t put my kids in ski school. Skied a bunch with the family which was a blast. It’s nice that my kids are good enough now to follow me around some fun terrain, and I got a kick out of showing my son the steeps in west basin which he had never hiked to before. The weather was warm and sunny all three days but the snow remained nice and chalky so everything was in play aside from some slopes that face south which are rarely good anyway. On day 2 my kids and I shared a lift ride with pro skier Connor Ryan (@sacredstoke) who I was familiar with from a fifty project episode and also “Spirit of the Peaks” Movie. Awesome friendly guy and we had a great conversation and shared our stoke for skiing. Highlights were skiing Kachina with my daughter and seeing bighorn sheep up top, and taking my son into Stauffenberg and St. Bernard in west basin which are some of the most legit steeps in North America. Wish I could stay longer but I’m blessed to get it in if even for just 3 days.

Is Wyndham the Catskill mountain you are thinking of? I wouldn't be surprised to see them come off the Ikon pass since they are doing the private club thing. I heard it was impossible to get an Ikon reservation there this year.

The fact that he was all excited about the waterpark and hotel and knew jack shit about the ski area shows what the focus is over there.

My kids had a teacher in elementary school with the last name "Onderdonk". Boy was it a mistake calling her "Mrs. Badonkadonk" within their earshot.

Yummmmmm, southern sliders.

Sunday for sure, maybe Friday night since my kids are asking about it.

Had a great morning of skiing and hanging with friends. Got to try out the new skis and they were great. Lift lines weren’t too bad and I didn’t even mind the sugar too much. Thanks to Tommy for the Ice Spice filter.

NICE!!!!

I'll be there on Sunday, Tommy is a maybe.

Correct. This plus other information would go into a Monte Carlo simulation to come up with a price.

Fun times today! Was glad that @Dirtwolf was able to get the morning in, and was cool to see the tram through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time. Snow was so good in rendezvous bowl, and it was so nice and sunny up there I had to take 3 trips up big red today. Aside from pockets of bad visibility the snow was really nice overall. Tomorrow I will get in a couple runs and head for the airport. It’s been a great trip! @AtomicSkier in rendezvous bowl

I’d be in the hospital right now!

Fun times today even though it was a little gray. The steeps were smooth and very nice. Tower 3 was so nice we had to do it twice. @AtomicSkierin paintbrush @AtomicSkierin Tower 3 @dirtwolf in stokeville Dropping in to stokeville hot dogging after a fun tower 3 run

Fun day today! Nice and warmed up after my first big mountain day of the year. Hobacks, bivouac woods and washakie were all a blast today. @AtomicSkierin the hobacks. @Dirtwolfin the hobacks. @mute1080 getting silly. Shots from Stokeville

I am trying to rally some troops to hike over past Casper bowl to the crags.

I'll be skiing on Sunday and hoping to do a quick turnaround on a ski tune before heading off to JH.

Thanks! Yes, I got pivot 18s on a good deal. I’m no help on your question but I’m sure someone here will be able to answer you. Hope you get it sorted out.

New skis delivered today. Can’t wait to get them mounted and try them out!

There's a remote chance of anyone learning anything.

Thanks for checking!

Thanks! Is the harlut the white one? I'd be fine sporting that one I think.

Has anyone seen what the selection of bindings looks like at the Blue mountain shop? Want to use my pass discount to get some pivot 15’s and wondering what assortment of colors they might have.

I wonder if by having the dumpsters there it almost encourages people that it is ok to drink on and throw trash off the lift. Ditch the dumpsters, slap up a couple of cameras and pull passes when people litter. I feel kind of bad being so grumpy about it, but I can’t think of a good reason why people should be allowed to litter like that.
