TAOS New Mexico....BETA.....?

[Notyourtocayo]

Mañana doesn't mean tomorrow, it just means not today. Hope you get some.

Benny it was like that my last time there. First day only chair 1 open due to winds. Kept snowing that night and winds calmed.

Next day still snowing but West bowls opened with 2' fresh. Kept snowing that night. Third day was bluebird, east side now opened with 3' of fresh, single-digit, dry-as-a-nun's vagina pornographic blower. Some of the best skiing I've ever experienced.

It's magic when it's on.

Only chair one, and that's a struggle. Mighty, mighty winds. Mananna should be awesome.

thank's benny will try and be there. short old guy, blue pants yellow jacket, grey DPS 112's

[Benny Profane]

I'm in a ski week, nailed a solo with a very cool old dude who us entertaining me greatly with stories of Taos history.

[the_flying_v]

Making breakfast and packing lunch. Stoked that 2 will open. Bombs all day yesterday. Should be a fun day on the hill. See y'all there.

Gray jacket, khaki pants, white helmet.

I was told that you can't even buy this sticker, due to its offensive nature to native Americans, although Erie Blake used a lot of Pueblo residents help him create the place.

Are they saving it for the 4* FWQ?

Is that the extreme competition this weekend? If so, no, that's over on top of 8.

[oftpiste]

^^^, yeah. Usually the 2* is on one venue, 4* qualifiers on another, 4* finals on whatever the biggest thing is which I would have presumed to be Kachina.

Go say hi to my kid. Or watch the 4* finals at least. Some really good skiing. Weather looks fantastic there! Wish I could have gone.

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, week turned well. Today was the definition of bluebird. Next two days will be back to Spring, but not too warm.

Looks like it was already raped... by the wind.

[BFD]

awesome day, now I know why everyone I meet from New Mexico is a good skier. I would think they are saving Kachina for the comp. Didn't see any control work. That West ridge stuff was getting pretty skied up. I would guess if they didn't open it today they are saving it for the comp. Some great terrain hard to believe only 1300 acres.

You should have seen it on monday. Like an old used up whore.

Nah, the wind typically blows from the south over the ridge and buffs everything out, kinda like chair 23 at Mammy.

[the_flying_v]

I don't think they're saving anything after talking to a few patroller buds. Kachina should be open for hike to tomorrow assuming control work goes well.

Absolutely stunner day on the hill. Not a cloud or chemtrail in the sky, excellent snow quality and some gate drops around Bambi ridge. Hands down the best day of the year (for me).

Kachina ready to be raped.

Great pic - typical conditions the day or two after I leave a mountain.

But on a side note, "ready to be raped"? (Or from your other post - "used up like an old whore"?) I appreciate the pic and ski report, but that kind of language is offensive, especially after skiing that terrain just a few days ago with my daughters. Maybe it was not intended to offend, but it's not just protective dads and the PC police, there are a lot of normal people (and police and prosecutors) who see "rape" as a bad thing. Not interested in debate, that would be for polyasshat anyway. So feel free to insult me or carry on with the gratuitous misogyny if you like, but just FYI - it's weird.

^it's Benny being benny. Welcome to tgr.
Taos is way over his head...even the green circle of Kachina.

I've been around long enough to know the special place Benny holds here. Easy to ignore and amusing at times, I don't know why he comes back for the beatings.

Taos is way over my head too. But I really enjoy sucking at skiing there.

[CaliKid]

Skied Taos for the first time on Mon and Tues. Can only imagine what yesterday was like. Lots of fun terrain off the hikes.

[Benny Profane]

Jeez, lighten up.



Raped. My man Mickey at the exit. No, I didn't hike. Just learning how to ski.

[LightRanger]

If that's your definition, ski Squaw sometime. That'd be like the first five minutes after a lift opened.

[Benny Profane]

Only hikers today.

Save your boot work for the boot doctors, and the 185 dollar 6 day instruction week is stupid cheap.
