Shadows Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Are you guys serious about taos or what? Quote
NMSKI Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Are you guys serious about taos or what?Well I'm definitely going. While it's a family vacation for me, I'll at least be able to get in 3 full ski days with whoever wants a tour while my kids are in ski school. 1 Quote
Kyle Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I have a friend who lives in SLC/park city and is always bugging me to come out with free passes to some resorts,I might have to take him up on that this year if I can find a cheap enough flight. Quote

Checkout Southwest Airlines..I flew Newark to Denver last two Aprils for about $300 round trip. The main perk of southwest for skiers and riders is two checked bags for free. I also have a Utah friend and he just rode Brighton today. Quote

Flights are expensive all around right now. Are you going to let a $200 difference in airfare stop you from going out west? It shouldn't. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 so, who am I skiing out west with this year? Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 so, who am I skiing out west with this year? Feb 2-6 in Utah is still on the table. Trying to ski the day PC and i get out there, but the Utah jumpstart thing is no longer. I might go out on the first. Flights are still in the $175 range. On a different note, the chutes open at Steamboat today. I am living my skiing through webcams. 1 Quote
NMSKI Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 so, who am I skiing out west with this year?2/23 - 2/26 in Taos is an option. Taos is smaller in acreage than a JH or Snowbird, so 3-4 days you can ski most of the mountain (although I'm still finding nooks and crannies).On a different note, the chutes open at Steamboat today. I am living my skiing through webcams. You and me both! Quote

You and me both! Also interested in this but would need to find someone else to go with since I am not going to crash your family trip. Quote
Shadows Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 If i get this new account im way down to go. Im still down to go regardless but it would be easier. If i dont get the account my budget is 900$ Quote

Justo8484 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 The chutes are insane.chutes are super fun. When I was there, two were not open due to low snow, but what I got to ski was awesome. I'd love to get back there and ski them on a good year. Quote

Kyle Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 If I get the job I just interviewed for I'll be moving to Phoenix for a month in February/March so I may try to make a few ski trips out of it 1 Quote

toast21602 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 You gonna punch it? I've punched other things, but I cannot rule it out. Only problem is finding somebody else to go with since I do not want to ski solo and infringe on your family festivites. Quote
