Is there an Unofficial Taos gathering happening this year, or maybe even a chosen week that a number of pug's coincidently picked to visit??
I was on my Ikon pass app and decided to reserve the last week of Feb at Taos just to see how it works. Seems pretty easy and straightforward. Dealing with the rest of the trip planning won't be for sure. I have skied Aspen a few times, so Taos is much more appealing to me in general. I think I have heard things are not going especially well there this year, but in 6 weeks that may change.
I have been skiing back east several times, and only once have I gotten to the mtn and decided it was not worth skiing that day. Wind hold and lots and lots of skiers. Not much snow early on this season either in NE. Otherwise, I feel pretty safe at a ski resort, I stay outside at all times, use the woods or porta potties, and eat, change, and hang at my car. With the Ikon pass, you just go to the lift and RFI your way onto the lift. I will only ride a lift at half capacity or alone, and avoid gondolas. So far, so good. I work at home so I am in semi-permanent quarantine.
Anyway, I am willing to consider one airplane travel ski trip this year, and was really looking forward to the Taos gathering, which probably is being skipped this year. A small one where we all get tests before coming would seem to be reasonably safe, and yes I know all the risks such as you can get it on the plane and not pick it up on a test for 3-7 days.
