2023 Taos Mini-Gathering - Date Poll Added

[James]

Next Taos gathering will feature CSNY cover band!
Tickets only available through Ikon at least 1 week in advance and only on sale from 2am - 4am Mountain Time.

 

[ADKmel]

I'm booked -Jan 28-Feb 4th Taos, and hoping for some for days in Utah w/you all end of Feb.
I Love booking trips when it's 80 and huge thunderstorms here in Adirondacks.

 

[LiquidFeet]

So is Jan 29-Feb 3 the official choice for the Taos Ski Valley ski week?
Has this been decided?

It's getting late to book early.

So is Jan 29-Feb 3 the official choice for the Taos Ski Valley ski week?

That's my vote... I've added a poll open for the next 7 days.

Please vote if you're planning to come!

 

[dbostedo]

Bumping this so folks may see the updated title, and poll.

 

[mdf]

I'm not going to vote because I expect to have a longer stay bracketing the Gathering. Either is fine with me.

 

[Gary Stolt]

What about Buck Hill? I thought we agreed on Buck Hill…

I've never skied Buck Hill.

 

[Gary Stolt]

I'll be at the national gathering when it is scheduled. Glad it is in Utah as I've somehow not skied there the last two years. I'll try to make the taos gathering because it is a great time. We can do the proper snow dances when the dates are settled. I try to do one west trip per month.
The full ikon pass is a great buy.

 

[dbostedo]

Bumping again in case anyone has yet to vote and wants to. The poll closes on Thursday at 11:54 AM.

 

[James]

So what factor is the vote?

 

[KingGrump]

So what factor is the vote?

None what so ever.
It does make folks feel better thinking they actually have a say.

 

[Tony S]

The x-factor, obviously. (That was really low hanging fruit.)

 

[dbostedo]

So what factor is the vote?

I haven't decided yet.

 

[James]

It’s ether going to be Divas vs Skitalk or a mix.

 

[dbostedo]

~15 hours to go on the poll...

So the poll finished with 10 votes for the earlier week, and 12 for the later week... pretty darn close. But the dates will be:

Feb 4 - Feb 11, 2023​

I believe that gives us the best chance for the most terrain to be open, and leaves 2 work weeks between Taos and the Utah Gathering, for those of us that still work regular schedules. (Even though I did vote for the earlier week...)

I plan to put out an official announcement and link in this thread this weekend. If anyone has a significant reason/objection that could change the date, and that hasn't already been discussed in this thread, let me know.

I'm getting excited already to get back there!

 

[Olesya C]

That's a bummer we will not overlap, maybe some other year.

 

[James]

That's a bummer we will not overlap, maybe some other year.

Same here. If I go, it will be earlier.

 

[Olesya C]

Same here. If I go, it will be earlier.

If you come out the Jan 28th - Feb 4th week, let me know. It would be fun to ski with you one of the afternoons, I may not be able to keep up, but I will try. Hopefully @KingGrump and Mrs. Grump may be there both weeks and we can ski with them.
