Sin Nombre and Fourth of July

Post by skykilo »

Eric is here so we're specializing in fun shit. Last night we had epic tapas in Santa Fe. Today I introduced him to the backcountry above Taos Ski Valley.

We started with Sin Nombre Peak. Some of our tracks are visible below the gully we skied after the upper face.

On the way to our next line the view of Lake Fork Peak was nice.

It was kind of beat but still fun.

The snow was better on the apron.

We skied sweet steep spongy powder in the trees then enjoyed a satisfying dinner at the Bavarian.
