Sounds good to me. I think @Sandy_NYC and my our Air Bnb is booked for those dates too. If Peter comes, we'll rent a car and try to spend a night in Santa Fe on the back end of the trip. ...@dbostedo stay in town this time! Theres much more to do, I think...

Others that might be interested in this trip : @Tony S, @Rainbow Jenny, @luliski , @MegKan, "Mister Tom" - @Near Nyquist, @KevinF, @Poolskier Vinny, @James, @mdf

I really would like to go, but have lots of unknowns: how will my foot be by then, will I be able to get time off from work, and how big of a tax refund will I have ? If everything works out, then I'll go. Have always wanted to ski Taos!

Just thought I'd share this here... On The Snow's projections for snowfall this winter, including Taos :

^that's it, she's thinking that 90% of Snowbird is a LOT of Snowbird

Snowbird?? What does that have to do with the two of you spending a week with us in Taos?

 

[cantunamunch]

Your fault, bud. You posted the graph. She's waaay too good at math not to notice that 450>360.

Seriously, just her and the medical approval will not be trivial.

But Taos has terrain Snowbird can only dream about.

if it's the right sort of dream, won't it be too wet to ski?

Dude, this is a family friendly site.

Speaking of wet skiing, I rather do Squaw / Mammoth over the bird.

On another note. The addition of Crystal to Ikon has shot our road trip plan to hell at this point. Back to the drawing board.

Less math in future posts, I promise.

OMG, Crystal unlimited?! Opportunity to hike Southback again... love that place.

How feasible is Crystal for early season? i.e. before the pseudo-El Nino strengthens?

Don't have a clue.
@markojp @David Chaus and @Posaune may have better handle on that.

 

[mdf]

I'm interested in Taos ... but I'm interested in everywhere, for that matter. A little too soon to commit.

Start a Crystal thread ...and get Mamie's thoughts on it?

 

[KingGrump]

get Mamie's thoughts on it

You don't want to go there.

The mind of us math & science type.



Mamie's Mind.

I have the Ikon base, so Taos is one of my possibilities, but there are a lot of choices. Depends on where the snow is. At the moment, the only week I can't ski, is the week of the Big Sky gathering.

What I want to know is... why'd they run a groomer over dirt?

You were there. It was a really bad snow year.
