Thanks for all the great pics! I'm going on the 6th! The terrain looks better than I imagined it.
One question: I love this helmet with the visor! I've not seen one like it. Is it new?

That looks like helmet + goggles? I have a Giro Orbit MIPS that has a visor.

There's white stuff coming from the sky!!

I notice passes still hanging off lanyards … no RFID scanner yet?

Poco gusto has been easy the last couple of days, though it's very short. Lonestar is sometimes easy, but has been nasty this week. White feather gully was pretty nice too.

Bumps on the side of porky are nice.

Nope. Hand scanners at lifts 1 and 4

Yeah, those were nice today. I hadn't skied them before.

Everything might be nice tomorrow if the snow keeps up!

It's a steady snowfall so far. Seems like it might be more accumulation than yesterday.

This looks positively delightful...

Where's that pic from?

That is a POC synapsis 2.0. Mamie, @MegKan and I are all on the same helmet. Different colors. Unfortunately, it's no longer in production. There are few NOS floating around on the net if you are interested.

For any attendees interested, if you skied by a photographer over the past few days, your photos are here.

I found pics of quite a few of us. There are a bunch here: https://coldsmokephoto.shootproof.com/gallery/Winter2122/album/11768647

It was interesting that they setup so close to the lift exit at the top of 7. You would make about 2 or 3 turns and be on top of the photographer.

Following a big end-of-day group from Lift 1 to Lift 2. The snow was already coming down at 2:45!

Is nuking more or less than puking? (Snow that is)

I think you've squared the circle on how to refer to us....

Dinner last night from Azteca Mexican Grill. We highly recommend it. The menu has both Mexican and New Mexican items.

Forgot the photo!

Huaraches, tamales, tacos, enchiladas and odds and ends....​
