Today was very enjoyable, but I’m ready to smash some bumps and drink some brews! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Glad you are safe. We shouldn’t shame him, even though it was dumb. I think it’s good to encourage people to share their experiences so we can learn from them. TP4 thanks for sharing this story, maybe you prevented someone from getting themselves into danger by doing something similar in the future. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The ski gods continue to deliver for me. Today was a bluebird sunny day, with amazing groomers. I did one more hike up to Juarez and one up to west blitz and both were soft skied out powder. Not bad at all. What made today amazing were rope drops on the entire front side steeps. I skied a top to bottom al’s run in untouched powder. Today was the first day it opened this season. Mind blowing for me. I did that twice which was totally exhausting. Skied a little with my kids in the afternoon after everything was skied out and my legs were cooked. Great ski trip.

Today was pretty crazy. They were reporting 5” when I checked at 6am, but it was nuking all morning and that total ended up at 13” when I checked at lunchtime. The place was totally empty too. I didn’t cross a single track until about 11 am. I got first tracks down Bob’s again thanks to my sneaky route around the lift shack and it was knee to thigh deep and got a couple face shots. I repeated the limited terrain, but the limited terrain wasn’t even an issue because of the free refills. I hiked 4 times to west blitz and it was so good I wanted to do it all day but the legs eventually were saying hold up. A picture is worth a thousand words I guess. Every single track in these pics is mine! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Snowed 5” last night and another 5-8 during the day expected. Dumping at the house right now (also taking a dump actually). Should be a fun one! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The last 3 years we’ve been renting a house in Arroyo Seco, NM which is about halfway between the town of Taos and the ski valley. I like it because it’s only about 15 minutes from skiing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What a great surprise today was! They reported 2”, but it continued to snow all day. Skied like 5” on much of the mountain. I guess I’m the luckiest son of a bitch in the world, but today was the first rope drop on highline ridge and west basin hike to terrain. Highline was only open through Juarez and west basin only through west blitz trees, but I was probably the 20th person to ski Juarez this year and it was really deep. Bottomless. I hiked once more to do Juarez again and made 2 hikes to west blitz trees which was so nice but not quite as bottomless. Played around off of bobs, moes and walkyries again. Skipped all the lift 8 bullshit. Word is more terrain opening tomorrow as they are looking at another 5-8 inches tonight, although it never really stopped snowing today aside from a few quick breaks in the clouds. I only brought my all mountain skis because conditions were expected to be so bad. Having fun in the 3D snow on my skinny skis!!

Interesting day at Taos but really fun. First, man are they hurting for a base. I’ve never seen Al’s with so much shit poking through in the 30 years I’ve been going to Taos. Neither of the ridges is open and part of the backside is still closed. The good thing is that 7 inches fell at the base and was much more up high. I started out on the frontside and skied lift 8 for a while when waiting for the backside to open. About half the runs were left ungroomed which made for some nice boot to knee deep perder turns. I kept going up lift 2 to check if the backside was open and on my third time up I noticed the rope was gone and proceeded down honeysuckle. Got probably 3rd tracks down walkyries bowl and because I know some local tricks, I knew that Bobs would be good if it was open. After coming down walkyries, I snuck around lift 7a’s bottom shack and entered Bobs run which was knee deep and I had first tracks. I followed bobs down under lift 7 and had untouched powder the entire length of lift 7. I did that routine 3 times and was exhausted. After a little break I searched the sides of trails for what was left. I saw some prep going on on some of the upper steeps which look almost ready to go. Possibly some snow for Thursday so my fingers are crossed. My pics aren’t great, I wasn’t stopping to take off my gloves in the morning and it was cold as shit all day.

Snow report says 7”, so looks like I’ll have some powder on day 1 although on limited terrain and a tiny base. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just got back from a day at Blue with my 7 year old son. Called him out of school and got on the sixer at around 9:50. Started with Paradise since this was his first time out this year. Took a few turns for the little man to get in the swing of things, then we were off and shredding. Did paradise 4times, Burma twice with the yeti park, lazy twice, switchback once. Run of the day for us was sidewinder to the lower park, to the 2 big roller jumps next to the six pack. We did that 4 times. My sons favorites were anything that had jumps, I think he’s gonna be a park rat. Got a pretzel in the lodge and he passed out like a champ on the ride home. Despite pretty crappy conditions was one of the most fun days out for me! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
