NMSKI

Sickest fucking day of my life quite possibly. Kachina opened at 9:30, first time since the 20 inches, it was unfucking believable. We lapped it 5 times then took a break. Found some nice chutes up there I'd never skied. I got some sick go pro for later. After the break I hit the trees and hunziker bowl to high noon which was still almost untracked. Just got done skiing castor/Pollux which is a 45 degree continuous 800 or so vert tree run. So beat but going back out for one last helping. Snowing again. pics tonight! Sickest fucking thing ever - especially on a pow day.

Day 2 started out nice and sunny with some fresh still to be found on the sides of everything that had been open yesterday plus they dropped the rope on the backside which opened up miles and miles of powder runs and really fun trees. Stayed back there pretty much all day. Kachina still closed they better open that shit soon. Strapped on the go pro for some vids which I'll post when I'm back at a computer. Snowing a little bit now in town hopefully we get a little refresher up high tonight! Mostly scenery pics early today. Was good and I just couldn't keep stopping to take out the camera you know how it is.

Had a New Belgium Ranger and a Left Hand Milk Stout at the lodge. Now La Cumbre Elevated and Red Ryeot.

Today was great. Was snowing all day but visibility was rough, and a bunch of the backside was closed due to avalanche control on kachina. Bombs were going off all day and I heard a slide that was so loud and lasted for so long it was spooky. Skied a powder lap on Al's which was sick, then did snakedance which is as long and steep as Al's but a natural half pipe. Hiked a bit to high line and did Juarez. Skied Lorelei trees and it was so deeeep in there. Meeting my buddies tomorrow so today was a solo day hence no action shots but lots of scenery. Lorelei trees Highline ridge Cornice I dropped Juarez

17+ inches last 2 days, still dumping. Heading up the valley in a few minutes, pics tonight.

Just got to my mom's house, greeted with a 4 pack of elevated IPA (canned on 2/18 WTF!!!). Love my mom! Gonna hike in the Sandia's tomorrow morning then head up to the mountains. Serious HAFE happening at 5,000 feet.

Have a good weekend, hope you guys get some snow out of this storm. Forecast looking right for me, wheels up to Taos in an hour. http://www.snowforecast.com/component/content/article/4668-taos-ski-valley

Start saving now, you will not regret it!

Thanks, yep I leave on Saturday. 10 day forecast looking nice!!

Really good day. Some seriously deep snow in the trees. I got all tangled up in a bunch of small shrubbery at the bottom of disappearing act and had to take off my skis - the snow was above mid thigh when I sunk in. So glad I had people to follow around for a good part of the day. Probably wouldn't have ducked the rope on Magician if I wasn't following someone else. It was steep and real fresh, then cut over and did the black line. I think I skied pretty much everything I wanted to except the red line. Skied a whole bunch of stuff that I never would have found on my own. So many fun little pockets of soft snow and drops all over this mountain. My legs are still screaming! Can't wait to get back up there. Next time dude! I don't think any of them were on Worths. The one dude that gave me the A to Z scoop about the mountain last night and led me around today goes by Rusty Groomer on TGR, great guy.

Green line siiick Skied the wardrobe and hallows also but no pics. Having an awesome day, dudes I met up with rip and I'm taking a break legs are feeling it!

Goniff glade gnar!

About to get it

My room

It's definitely fuckin winter up here! Brr. Off to the tavern!

Haha I always think this too. Imports = fancy, domestics = shitty, not true!

I've got the car loaded up, gonna bounce from work at noon and drive up. Got a cheap room at the Blue Gentian lodge looks pretty decent. Hoping they have some nice brews on tap at the Black Line Tavern this evening but I can't get too faded because it's time to shred tomorrow! Based on the recent snowfall, temperature, and what I've seen from lurking around on TGR it should be some awesome conditions. I've heard so many cool things about this place so I'm pumped to finally get the chance to check it out.

Good for you taking interest in becoming a better skier. I'd love to see a video of myself how awful my form is compared to how I think I look!

Skilogics are sick. Is that the Howitzer?

Those neoprene ones that look like batman are a little better as far as not fogging goggles.

Fun morning, challenge was nice like it has been the last couple weeks. Glad I made it to point Phillips for lunch. Baked beans, Mac & cheese, pulled pork and cheese andouille hit the spot. My stomach is a percolatin' now if you know what I mean! Booked my room at Magic for next Friday just now, gonna be sweet!

Go for it! If you're not used to skiing anything that steep its a pretty good start since its short and if you lose control you won't slide into anything.

Great TR so far! Sick pics!

Alps from above is the shit!

All you bro
