Sorry the lower inferno was just from control work and impressive result with a tree. Your correct on lake fork call and also most likely between Lorelei and longhorn.
Attachment 450302Attachment 450304Great 3 days with 6” to start yesterday and another 3-4 during the day. No wind (?) and low crowds made for some great storm skiing. Blue bird today with Katchina opening was the icing on the cake. Love the Mountian, so happy to get it with fresh snow. Would need a full season to unlock its true potential.
Anyone going to Taos this Friday or Saturday?
Half of Texas will be there.Quote:

We skied Taos the last couple of days. It was very, very good with some fresh both days. Mostly walk on Kachina and little pressure on the good lines. We hiked off chair 2 yesterday late and everything was still soft with untracked pockets still in play. The super cooled graupel snow that fell stuck and consolidated with the base to form top to bottom creamy goodness. Super forgiving hero snow. Sleeper days for sure. Texas can't ski anything good and the locals blackout. Maybe a little sharky, but super manageable.Quote:

I wish we didn't have to leave, but our MC days are burned up so we are resting our weary legs today and headed up to CB to use up our 3 Epic day passes.
Horrid line today as seen from the webcam.
14” in the last 24 and still puking. I expect a shit show tomorrow.

No shit show. Little gathering at chair 1 for the opening bell. Lots of avi work. Ridge opened at 10 for hiking. Bamby Chutes, Sr Arnold, etc opened at 11ish.
Instructors, locals, folks from shops where all stoked with “best day evers” and “Taos doesn’t get better than thats”
It skied like they got two ft overnight

Anyone on Ikon should make reservations early. Taos limits the numbers.Quote:

Hoping to get by without a car.
Can anyone confirm?
Planning on a hotel/B&B in town to permit the no-car trip. Any recommendations?
No help to offer with regards to bus transport. However, I was there a week ago and on the advice of a friend called Abode rentals: https://www.abodevacation.com/vacati....asp?cat=15347
I was able to book a studio across the street from the lift for marginally more than what I would have paid in town. Worth a shot.
The Cottam’s and Boot Doctors are now owned by Christy Sports
Know nothing about the bus but Hampton Inn in town is nice and clean.Quote:

Supposed to head down there later today and the whole mountain looks like it’s on wind hold with more in the forecast. Hmm.
Lift 1 started to run at 10. Rest of them started at 11. It was a cluster at the base until the crowds dispersed. Lift 2 lines thinned down around 12:30.
Snow was good tho. 4”-6” of groupel that got mashed up into soft goodness.
Sigh. I'm always a little late to the party, but I can say that I regularly see the Blue bus that runs from the Town of Taos to the Ski Valley running.Quote:

Taos closed for the season. Kachina was dreamy with soft chalk.

new gondi this year as well? base to base
I was in the area for work, and managed to sneak in a tour in Taos on my way out. I left the Williams lake TH about 7 and promptly blew directions to my objective. I wound up the next basin back by lake fork peak. Still found fun skiing. Dropped at about 10:30, and the cold breeze was keeping it frozen. I didn’t have much time to wait around.
