Zagava is a great trail. It's a short steep surprise at the end of a green (blue?) trail. [There is a turn off that goes around -- but the natural flow of the path takes you to Zagava.]
In past years it was smooth and almost icy -- a nice challenge and an opportunity to sneer (silently and politely, of course) at the paralyzed masses stuck on it.
Last year, with the change in traffic patterns caused by the reconfiguring of lift 1, it became a bump run. It was unique in that it had serious bumps but it did not go on and on forever. A great place to introduce someone to those without making them hate you forever.

The bumps on Zagava were more challenging than Poco Gusto last year.I don't think I skied Zagava last year. But I did ski Poco Gusto, which is similar - and was decent bumps last year.
I learned from the best...Never realized you are such a evil person.
Well... tell it?Have a great story about Poco also.
The unmitigated rainy meltdown we're now experiencing in +?#!ing New England is forcing me to cast my optimism westward.
Le Ski Mastery can do good tunes. I like the guy - French ex-racer type. Forget his name. However, not all their inventory is in great shape, or wasn't last year, anyway. It pays to go in 24 hours or (preferably) more before you need the ski, and reserve it. If the tune doesn't look good, ask him to fix up the ski before you take it out. Also be aware that if your demo ski is newish and you ding it up, you may be asked to pay a penalty. This happened to @Unpiste .Does anyone have a recommendation for place is TSV for demo rentals? I need to find a new western frontside ski - ie: 85-92ish - and thought this would be a good week to demo.
Diggin' that Taos is at 164% snowpack per OpenSnow. Contingency plans are rapidly being forgotten and now looking at upgrades to lodging.
