Northern New Mexico Ski PET

Post by Left Seater »

So the wife and I headed to Taos NM for her birthday last week to do some skiing. We arrived in Albuquerque on Wed evening and drove to Santa Fe to crash for the night. We bumped around the square in the AM and looked at some jewelry, then had lunch and made our way north to Taos. We stayed at a very nice place called the El Monte Sagrado. Just a handful of rooms, nice grounds, and surprisingly good food for a hotel.

Woke up to snow on Friday and headed out to ski
Image

Snowed all day Fri so no pics of that but then Sat was a blue bird day
Image

Surprisingly not a ski run, but rather an old dumping area from a silver mine
Image

Taos was hosting the Salomon Freeride Extreme Series

Pretty good turn out to watch despite it being on the top of the mountain, lift ticket required

Look close for the kid who is stuck behind the dead tree

Ski Patrol had to rope down to him and then rope him down from there

Wide view of the area he was trying to ride

Another 'boarder thought he would give it a go (upper left quad of photo near tree)
Image

But he just chickened out and slid down some

View from lift up to Kachina Peak. This isn't lift accessible, but requires an hour hike
Image

Another view of the peak, from top of a different lift and you can see some of the ridge you walk to get there

After skiing Taos thru Tuesday we got up early and headed back to Santa Fe on Wed morning to ski a half day there before heading home

Rack the PET. Skiing is a lot of fun.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

The nearest I've been to the slopes is "Mahogany Ridge".

Are you referring to the brewery in Steamboat by the same name?
