Taos – $28
Hit Taos again today. Bit scrapey, no new terrain open. Need more snow!<br />
<br />
Legs definately coming back, and finally (I think) got the boots dialed in. Going to try skiing them without the footbeds next weekend – the only thing that’s really bothering me is the arch of both feet once the boots are buckeled tight – the footbeds have real high arches matching mine, and I think when they’re buckled down that footbed arch is pressuring the arch in my foot and causing it to get soar/crampy.
Taos – $28
Hit Taos today. 3 runs open, plenty of snow making, and they got about 6″ overnight. Took a bit longer to drive than I expected as road conditions through santa fe and up through the mountains were shit, so I missed the fresh groomed courderoy in the morn, but still very nice. Finally starting to get my legs back – was making some more-dynamic turns on edge, think I finally got my boots to where they’re comfy yet tight enough to give me good control, and I’m not even sore. yay!
Wolf Creek – $35
I was at WC this last Sunday. It was…Well, I had a really good time<br />
<br />
Up top on Alberta face was all chopped up, but was about 2-3′ of soft stuff on top of rocks (my binding pre-released and I had to posthole up about 10ft, was definately climbin on rocks).<br />
<br />
The stuff lower down was pretty thin in alot of spots. Lots of taller grass showing through, lots of li’l trees, and rocks to watch out for. I was really surprised at some of what they had “open”. Doesn’t seem like they’ve really got enough snow anywhere to actually groom either.<br />
<br />
Was a really nice trip overall, beautiful scenic drive up from Alb and stopped at a few overlooks as well as Treasure Fall on the way back – waaaay cool.<br />
<br />
If you’re lookin for good snow though, WC isn’t currently the place to find it.
A-Basin – Pass (saved $38)
Skied ABasin today. Like yesterday at Loveland, beautiful snow in the morning, big fluffy flakes. Definately winter up here!<br />
<br />
Much more crowded than Loveland, but not terrible in the morning. Using the singles line I didn’t wait more than 5 minutes or so for a chair.<br />
<br />
2 runs open. The second one had snow blown on it for the last few days, and there was a really nice ~3″ layer of fresh (manmade) on top of it. Very nice!
