I'm pretty sure at least part of his calculation is doing the work is better for his mental state than dealing with the s*** job someone else will do.It would be easier just to rent from someone you aren't related to...

I'd be happy to come help you rehabilitate the place for a place toWe have been literally squatting here for 22 years. I like to think of it as our way to assert our squatter rights by keeping up the place. Even us squatters have standards. Very low standards, but standards nevertheless.
Mamie is looking at it as her high altitude work yourself into skiing shape camp.
Nah, I get that. And we are all glad we can draft off your squating. Lots of good times there.22 years of rental. Lots of holidays. Many for the season. Hopefully, many more to come.
Got to pay the piper somewhere along the way.
The world is not and should not be one way streets only.
It just struck me how much work it takes just to keep up with entropy in a harsh environment like a high-altitude ski resort.
2020 before COVID shut it all down……. It’s always a good time at the Grumps. I’ve enjoyed their hospitality a number of times.Nah, I get that. And we are all glad we can draft off your squating. Lots of good times there.

Do you know if a race week involves mostly gate work?Heads up for those wanting to expand their racing skill set. Race week is the week of 01/22/2022. Several prior gathering attendees are considering it as an alternative to the mini-gathering.
Don't worry. I'll lend you my padded suit and a tube of Arnica gel. You'll be fine. Just give yourself extra time when you need to pee.Do you know if a race week involves mostly gate work?

It is not all gate work. They always have 2 groups: for those who are serious and only want gates, and those who just want to improve their carving skills. One year they even had a 3rd group that was learning to parallel ski but they had made that a minimum requirement now. You can also book a private week with Alain to ski gates. I didn’t want to share him with others in a ski week so I have been booking private weeks with him. He just had double knee replacement so I am not sure how involved he will be with this year’s race week. He seems to be recovering well!Do you know if a race week involves mostly gate work?

I should have one from the past year or two Mike. I’ll check when I get home.The 22-23 trail map is up on the Taos website. Did anybody happen to save last years?
I didn't, so I'm going off memory.
I think some more runs are marked on it. Most or all were already signed on the hill, so it's a documentation change only.
I think K1 through K5, High Somewhere, and Muse Bowl are newly marked.
That should help with my chronic confusion over which end the Ks are numbered from.
I do have a paper map ... I can't find a date on it, but it is old enough that it lifts 5 and 6 are on it. The only difference I see with it (besides the added marked trails) is that the closed area between Lorelei and Longhorn extends all the way to Pierre's on the paper map but is a little smaller now.
edit - just noticed the back of the paper map has a detail map of the ridges that has even more marked runs. All of the West Basin chutes, North Face, and the area between Cabin and Lift Shack chutes.
