Taos 2015

Today was great. Was snowing all day but visibility was rough, and a bunch of the backside was closed due to avalanche control on kachina. Bombs were going off all day and I heard a slide that was so loud and lasted for so long it was spooky. Skied a powder lap on Al's which was sick, then did snakedance which is as long and steep as Al's but a natural half pipe. Hiked a bit to high line and did Juarez. Skied Lorelei trees and it was so deeeep in there. Meeting my buddies tomorrow so today was a solo day hence no action shots but lots of scenery.

Sickest fucking day of my life quite possibly. Kachina opened at 9:30, first time since the 20 inches, it was unfucking believable. We lapped it 5 times then took a break. Found some nice chutes up there I'd never skied. I got some sick go pro for later. After the break I hit the trees and hunziker bowl to high noon which was still almost untracked. Just got done skiing castor/Pollux which is a 45 degree continuous 800 or so vert tree run. So beat but going back out for one last helping. Snowing again. pics tonight!

How's the new lift?

Sickest fucking thing ever - especially on a pow day.

After my break I hit some of the trees on the backside, then did Longhorn which is a mega leg burning 1500 vertical extremely steep run on the front side with no bail out once you're in the gate. Did a couple more runs just kind of poked around looking for untracked snow. My kids are in ski lessons and my daughter is really getting it after 2 days. I rode the bunny lift with each of my kids once to finish off the day. No kachina lapping pics but like I said video coming soon.
