You have stats on this site that will rival Strava. All of your bikes roll on hard ground, none will ride well on a beach, and yet you've managed to accumulate three versions of them. RTMs aren't for cruising, they're for ripping, so let's find you a cruiser now! 1 Quote

NMSKI Posted October 12, 2020 Report Posted October 12, 2020 Well, Taos announced their plans on Friday for the season and they aren't offering any ski school for kids which is kind of a dealbreaker. We can pay $750/kid per day for a private lesson but I'm not made of money. Plus, it looks really restrictive regarding eating, drinking, etc. This will probably be the first year since 2011 that I don't get Taos in. Narrowed it down to Sun Valley or Steamboat for the family trip. 2 2 Quote
