Taos Spring Fiesta 2022

[NMSKI]

Skied 2 days so far at Taos and it’s been full on spring conditions, like 50 degrees. Everything has softened up at about 11 and it’s been nice.  Lots of bumps so far, a couple hikes to the West Basin gnar and many Kachina laps.  K4 and St . Bernard have been the best so far.  A couple more days to come.

Really stoked at that terrain! And was wondering why a monkey was by your car but realized the edibles were kicking in

Finished up our time in Taos today and we had a great trip.  Snowed 1 or 2 inches overnight which was a pleasant surprise and after 3 really warm days it was a little cooler on Friday.  I skied with my kids all day Friday after they had done ski school for the first part of the week.  They absolutely rip now and are going to pass me soon.  Took them down Al’s run for the first time and they were both talking about how easy it was.  Stepped it up after that to their first Taos double black (west blitz trees to spitfire chute to west basin) and they navigated it perfectly.

Getting to be that time of year that I start checking out the weather for my Taos trip and too bad I'm not going this week!  Fat chance that I'll have fresh pow after the "Jackson Hole Incident of 2023".

A foot yesterday and this today!  Nooks and crannies filling in!
