Going to miss the old fixed grip chair 1. Legs likes the rest on the slow chairs.
Not going to get that with the new detachable.
But it might have footrests! Those are nice (if I can get my feet onto them... a few smaller ones I can't.)
I also like the longer ride time to rest my legs between runs.
Nothing much else but 1,800 feet of non-stop bumps in the lower front.
Porcupine and Powder Horn are the only groomers there.

When looking at those pictures, just remember - moguls move uphill!
Back to the last thread question, we'd probably make either of those two date ranges, but I'd rather be there a little earlier because I have two other trips in mid-late February. It's going to the an "Ikonic" year!

I think the question is Jan 26th - Feb 2nd, or Feb 2nd - Feb 9th....
Sorry, what was the question again?
He's got a conflict with a Snowshoe trip.
Threads get complicated...
I have to say I have never been to Snowshoe.
Got to get Mamie on this right away.
Thank you for including me, dbostedo! Poor snow kept me away from Taos last season. I missed the place!
Please count me in for the mini-gathering/ski week. I like both your preferred weeks, but my schedule is flexible so I'll do my best to be there on a week that best suits the group.
Cheers

Snowshoeing in Taos?

I'm confused now too... Snowshoe? I thought we were all going to Taos. NM > WV.
NM definitely > WV, at least for skiing. 
Feel the irony, Luke
NM definitely > WV, at least for skiing.
As with most such things, it depends on one's timing
I prefer later dates. But my preference should have minimal sway since I live nearby and can be flexible. As soon as you choose the snow gods will make sure to dump the other week you know
Ah, but better to arrive the week after than leave the week before.I prefer later dates. But my preference should have minimal sway since I live nearby and can be flexible. As soon as you choose the snow gods will make sure to dump the other week you know
