humptyJust wanted to drop by and share
Last season i chased a storm down there. Was like a 3-4 foot storm or some shit. Big storm.
It was the best pow day ive had in like 2 or 3 seasons, fucking deep ass snow and dope terrain. It was the dry snow too like in Utah.
Hiked some ridge or some shit legit right after they opened it and it was fucking amazing. Was roughly 10th in line on the hike and it was a big ridge. Hit like a 10 or 15 foot drop towards the top and proceeded to trench my way down with a face full of snow. Also ate shit and lost my poles earlier in the day so i felt like a complete fucking G skiing pow with my boatskis and no poles. 11/10 day at Taos.
buck_nastyHell yeah that was an epic storm cycle!! Skiing was soooo sooo good all that week
IsaacNW82That was definitely a storm to remember, especially considering how bad last winter was until then. Only downside was it felt like all of Colorado came down to party too, never seen lines in the west basin hike that before.
Some shameless self-whoring from that storm:

IsaacNW82Ain't much yet, but Juarez is open, couple rails set up, and a few fun side hits on the backside. Anyone skiing Taos this weekend?
buck_nastyMy pass is blacked out this week but I’m doing the locals class so I’ll be up the next 6 Saturdays after that for sure, plus other random days. We definitely need to go shred!!
ryanbrueninghausAny street spots in the Taos area? Moving there for the winter
CoolChillGuy420bumping cuz I want more info on the area cuz I might go patrol at Red River.

ryanbrueninghausWhat’s the cheapest shop to get skis mounted in the Taos area?
BeefSupremeNot sure about Taos proper, but if you’re based out of Santa Fe I’d go to ski tech. There’s another local shop and an rei that can do a tune/wax, but ski tech is the only one of the three that I really trust with my bindings. Plus they’re rad guys.
edit: just saw you said cheapest, not best. I think all comparable and all way cheaper than a new ACL.

ryanbrueninghausI’m in Taos proper but I’ll probably take a trip to Santa Fe soonish, thanks for the suggestion. Definitely looking for good quality but I’m not trying to pay $80 for a mounting at a resort shop
