Ski Taos

A popular New Mexico bumper sticker reads, "Taos is a four letter word for steep." This is no exaggeration. After two days of intense skiing, I am beat. But tomorrow, the mountain awaits. The lifts open yet again. Fresh snow will be ready.
Here are some instagram photos from the past two days.

walkyrie: from Norse mythology, the Walkyries were the wood nymphs who tended the battle slain warriors and led them to Norse heaven--Valhalla. This is a trail which disappears into the trees. It's a great run if you hit if after a powder snow; otherwise, there is knee-bashing through the trees. Cowboy & Coyote chase.
