Hot springs was a worthwhile trip. 3 of us went. A bit busier than expected at 3:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, but good. Perhaps more rewarding were the amazing views on the drive back to Taos.

My logistics got a bit sideways and ended spending a bit more time local friends than I planned so I missed you guys..major apologies! We did represent and my local friend took me took a lot of stashes off the ridge today and it was still quite soft! I do love this mtn and the steeps are legit! Can't wait to come back during a storm cycle. Safe travels home everyone and I'll some of my Mammoth peeps up there in the next little while.

From the current TSV website. Think I’ll sit out today, especially after bluebird day skiing a half-foot of fresh at Santa Fe yesterday.

It was nice up there yesterday! Looks like more today; snowing hard out my window now. Heading up in a bit.

Without snow, and a bit smaller mountains, looks surprisingly similar to White Sands. Where Oppenheimer and co did their test.

Ps: you forgot a food pic.

I normally don’t eat lunch, but had to go for the legendary goulash and German beer.

Ski Santa Fe today with my sweetie.

We skied Muerte bumps in honor of @Tony S and @Dean


Then we skied South Burn in honor @pais alto

We skied Cornice and the phone line in honor of @Pasha but were having too much fun for a photo op.

Sun came our about a half hour ago but still snowing a bit. Should be amazing tomorrow in case anyone wants to skip class. Just sayin' you'd be welcome.

Just liven’n the dream, about to dig into this Prime ribeye (prime with a capital P).

So, snow at Santa Fe but not TSV?

Yeah, it was weird. Santa Fe 2 hours south got 6 inches, and TSV got nothing. But TSV got a few inches today, and it skied deeper.

Is that like Charles Atlas’s dynamic tension?

Skied FIS slalom skis for the first time ever today. They are a blast!
