Taos Mini-Gathering 2020 - Jan. 25th - Feb. 1st

[Tony S]

Is anyone interested in attending the dinner tonight at St. B's in my place? My leg really doesn't want to hobble over there so we have an available spot for anyone who might want it. If not, I guess we'll be calling the restaurant to try to cancel for me.

Don't worry. We'll just take your money and put it toward a couple bottles of wine. We promise to toast you with the windfall. Honest.

Another great day of skiing. Started snowing after lunch. Got an inch or two by the end of the day. Still snowing. Tomorrow looks to be a another fine day in Taos.

Part of the afternoon posse.


Shout out to @missyc , @MegKan and @android . First time in Ernie's.



End of day posse. Still in full on mode.

I was pretty tired from today, it was a stressful drive home. Dinner was great! Going to bed now. I got several ski videos today, will post tomorrow.

I just met Noodler at lunch today. He was describing Snowfan’s 500 yard cartwheel. I met Snowfan at dinner tonight. Two great skiers get taken down by the Snow God on the same day! Here’s hoping that both of you have quick, full recoveries.

 

[KingGrump]

Speedy recoveries, @Snowfan & @Noodler .

PSA - Don't forget about Tech Talk tomorrow (Tuesday) at the St. B. 4:30 PM

Skiing was great today, but couldn't get away from the crowds — even in the trees!

Sorry to hear about the injuries. Hope everyone's back on skis soon.

 

[Rainbow Jenny]

No mistaking Mrs Grump’s laughter in @Unpiste video, look forward to hearing it in person in the spring time. In the meanwhile, have fun, smile. and stay safe!!!

 

[Philpug]

We are glad you are all having a great time. This is a fun read. We are here in Colorado on our way to Outdoor Retailers.

Kachina Peak looked really beautiful with the mix of light and shadow yesterday. The other photo is looking down from the top of Castor.

 

[Brock Tice]

At @mdf's suggestion we took the "rabbit hole" gate from Blitz into Spitfire and had a nice run through the trees. (Featuring @mdf and @MattSmith)

 

[Brock Tice]

Here's the end of a run down Castor. The fresh coat of snow just hid all the rocks making them harder to avoid and I dislodged a chunk larger than a softball on my first turn, which went rolling down the hill. Other than that it was pretty sweet with the fresh. Featuring @mdf, @MattSmith , @Matchstix, and @Unpiste.

 

[Brock Tice]

Here's @Matchstix in Spencer's from the afternoon.

And @mdf in Spencer's from the same run.

Unfortunately I don't expect to be back until Sunday, if that changes I will let you all know and try to meet up again. Anyone still going to be around Sunday?

Have fun at the get-together tonight and best wishes for the soft snow today and more to hopefully fall tomorrow. It was a blast skiing, drinking, and dining with you all again this year!

 

[Brock Tice]

@MattSmith

Thanks, fixed!

 

[KingGrump]

Don't forget the get together after tech talk up the hill.
The house is directly up hill of the twining condo.
There be swags.

I had a blast skiing with @Brock Tice , @MattSmith , @Matchstix @Noodler , and (last run only) @Unpiste . Thanks for dragging this old man up to the West Basin. And many thanks to Brock for knowing where the entrances to everything is. (Anyone who has driven with me knows I am navigational ly challenged. )
I noticed I was skiing better when I was chasing you guys around.
