Arizona/New Mexico 2023 Taos Mini-Gathering Report and Pics
- Thread starter dbostedo
- Start date
Looking at the web cam it looks like a ghost town. Kinda crazy just shutting down the resort.
On another note, I been thinking what I'm gonna do next season, been planning to get the Taos season pass again, got the Value last year, been planning to get the Kachina this year, not that much more really when you look at cost per ski day, ski pass cost is only about 10% of my total cost. Also thinking about getting a ikon ski pass, and ski some different resorts next season.

It looks like the village has adequate water supply.
Yup.
Yes, they have adequate water supply but can't get it out to the folks that needed it.
BYOB - Bring Your Own Bucket.
ETA: Question du our. Should I wear a helmet or just get a soft water bucket?

Wow, that was good. The Mahres get the award for best skiing. Probably being in instruction for a long time kept them up on it. (Mahre training center at Keystone before Vail)
There’s hope for the others, esp McKinney, after Klammer called her skiing “lazy”.
I would disagree about learning the Whitepass Turn though. It's a good exercise.

It's at DV nowadays.
That is quite the collection of skiers. Be cool to watch and listen to them in person.
You beat me to it - I was waiting to see you in there too!
@Tex - Christine had us doing the White Pass turn as an exercise (but didn't use that name - might have used airplane turn). I've definitely played with it some since & do find it helps focus on the little toe edge - fun stupid skier trick. I did a lot better with that than keeping edges flat and spinning around - still suck at that.
@James - think he was objecting to using that turn as an actual tactic in competition, not as a drill.
I love doing side-by-side synchro. It's a fantastic sensation when you and your companion(s) can actually get the turns to match up. It's not easy. I've gotten it right a couple of times.
I was thinking that looks like fun, I always just follow someone (same tracks), I’m doing this next time.
Last day at Taos tomorrow. 
Headed north for more skiing.

Edit,... The ski valley kindly extended the value pass and weekday pass through this Sunday due to water leak closure.
4 more days till closing.
Wonderful spring day at Taos and had several runs with @KingGrump Mrs Grump, Connor and @Sandy_NYC ...

Any guesses as to who I was skiing with today? Three pairs of identical FIS SLs on the lift.
Today was the first time Taos has been open since Saturday. Firm in the morning, slush in the afternoon. Spring has arrived. Fun running into @Snowfan during @KingGrump spring training camp.
