Taos 2024

[NMSKI]

Just finished up a quick 3 days at my favorite mountain Taos Ski Valley.  This was the first time that we’ve gone as a family and I didn’t put my kids in ski school.  Skied a bunch with the family which was a blast.  It’s nice that my kids are good enough now to follow me around some fun terrain, and I got a kick out of showing my son the steeps in west basin which he had never hiked to before.  
 

The weather was warm and sunny all three days but the snow remained nice and chalky so everything was in play aside from some slopes that face south which are rarely good anyway.  
 

On day 2 my kids and I shared a lift ride with pro skier Connor Ryan (@sacredstoke) who I was familiar with from a fifty project episode and also “Spirit of the Peaks” Movie.  Awesome friendly guy and we had a great conversation and shared our stoke for skiing.  
 

Highlights were skiing Kachina with my daughter and seeing bighorn sheep up top, and taking my son into Stauffenberg and St. Bernard in west basin which are some of the most legit steeps in North America.  
 

Wish I could stay longer but I’m blessed to get it in if even for just 3 days.

You could center punch storm troopers in AK with 3ft of fresh and it wouldn't move you like watching your kid rip Kachina ! 

Dope trip !

I'm going to try to ski a day there when we have to go to AZ for a bachelor party, its numero uno on my brother's list.

Before I ever saw your TRs  Taos was on the "might be nice to vist" list, but its definitely on the "must go" list.   🤙
