2022 Taos Mini-Gathering - January 22 - January 29, 2022

I assumed it was the other side of good skiing - like, I’m on one side of it (and I’m fine with that!) and he's on the other.

 

[James]

Hmm, so it's me?

It’s not you...it’s me.
I mean Tony.

Couldn’t resist-

It’s dangerous to assume anything with these guys.
Just roll your eyes and move on.

Good advice for many situations. I’ve been doing a lot of eye-rolling the last few years, so I'm super good at that!

No idea what side I’m on here. Then Mike posts a diagram that Captain Obvious Jr. learned as a toddler. I’m concerned.

A few questions

• How long are the boot packs at taos?
• Is off trail more open suiting a charger ski or is it more chutes and trees? I ski snowbasin which I would say is pretty open terrain.
• What are some popular daily drivers at Taos? Currently I have a Kastle mx99 and a Salomon qst 92 as DDs. Sometime is pays to match the hatch.

Short. Chutes and trees. QST.

Tim, there is some, no, lots of really great tree skiing at Taos - if the snow is good, (plentiful) which it was in 2019.

Thanks. Very helpful!

Thanks. That sounds good. We will have to check some of those trees out.

 

[Wendy]

I’m thinking DPS Nina99 Alchemist as my ski with the Sideral as a very low snow backup.

 

[Pat AKA mustski]

I will bring my Stockli SR 85. If we have space on the roof rack, I’ll bring my Volkl Ones in the hope of a deep day. Otherwise, I’ll rent some if needed.

 

[Phelmut]

And don't forget the new skis.
