Spent the weekend at Joe and Debbies in Denver, and skied at loveland on New Years eve. *Awesome*. Only a few inches fresh over night, but there had been about a foot in the previous 2 days. Was a bit choppy, but plenty of nice soft fresh snow, and I even found a few spots that were untouched fresh boot-top pow, and finally got the hang of turning in it! Woohoo bouncy floaty powder turns!<br />
<br />
First full day skiing – was on one of the first chairs at 8:30 and skied until 3:30, just before closing, with only a short break for lunch. Explored the whole place, awesome awesome day!

Santa Fe is hurting so badly! Essentially one run open, I guess it’s “top to bottom”, but not reallly. Super short, chair ride sucks for such a short run down, and I kept getting yelled at for going too fast =(<br />

need snow need snow need snow!

Skied Taos today.<br />
<br />
Picked up my new 170 Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous from Alpine Extreme. Strangely, they only had demo bindings, and their rep told them that was all they’d be getting. They’re not much heavier than the normal bindings, so I don’t really mind – a bonus is that I can move them forward and backward on the ski to my liking – going to move them formward from where they are now.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it’s xmas break time and it seems Texas has annexed Taos – it’s a monday, the parking lots were packed, and more than half the cars were from Texas. yuck. Trash everywhere, everything is scraped clean. Didn’t stay too long, but still had a decent time. Love the new skis!

Skied Breck again today w/ Chris (Jen stayed in). Demoed Volkl Mantra. Better than my heads, but nowhere near as fun as the Nit’s.

Demoed HR Nit’s – these things are awesome – super stable at any speed, lock right into a carve, absolutely love them!
