2024 Taos Mini-Gathering - Feb 3 - Feb 10, 2024

[Neurodrive]

My drive from ABQ to Arroyo Seco tomorrow late afternoon/evening could be interesting. But I hope not.

Just arrived near Arroyo Seco and the roads were no problem from Albuquerque.

As usual, TSV under reported.

So how early do we need to show up tomorrow to make it to the Whistlestop by 9:30? Maybe I should start driving up now.

I better go practice my ski off.

You are gonna end up with Mark

Free your mind

Hey folks - I started a live/running trip report thread:

Arizona/New Mexico - 2024 Taos Mini-Gathering Report and Pics

I've arrived in Taos! So I wanted to get this thing going. Please post your trip pics, reports, and impressions here!! Taos reported 17" today, so things are off to a good start. Here's a pic copied from the main Gathering thread to get things started!

www.skitalk.com

Please post your pics and reports there! We'll keep this thread open for Gathering questions too if there are any.

We are getting close to Gathering time! I plan to be out a little early, about 8:30-8:40 to meet folks and be ready to go when the lift starts. For anyone that doesn't know me, I'll look approximately like this, but way more good looking in person

I've also added this to the opening post in the thread.

I should also have added, for those that don't know me, that my name is Dave.

I’m taking the day off. Or at least the morning.

Per my instructor Kent there’s a Tech Talk at the Martini Tree Bar today at 4:30.

Correct on the Tech Talk... we've been told the bar won't be open during it, but you can get drinks at Rhodas and bring them upstairs.

You’re driving us nuts with two threads now for one event.

I've done something to drive you nuts?

1) yes!
2) it's not that hard.

I should have posted this much sooner... but if anyone wants SkiTalk ski straps or stickers, please let me know,

 

[VickiK]

I’d like a ski strap, please, if any remain unclaimed.

Query on behalf of a friend of a friend…
If anyone is returning from Taos to Albuquerque on Saturday Feb 17, and has room in their vehicle for one plus the usual bagge, please let me know. Thank you.
