Closing weekend at Taos. Nevermind milking my pass. Backcountry conditions were epic. Set it off.


Naomi hadn't skied Lake Fork Peak. Get some.

Micah starts. Naomi continues.

Micah heads toward a freeride zone. Naomi continues.

The snow was actually powdery in the freeride zone. I was doing a snowboarder impression or something.

Naomi skins toward a col for another shot to the ski valley.

Micah drops into the line. It sure is nice that we're staying in that big lodge at the bottom.

The next day a little bird told us we could find some sweet snow in a hidden zone of radness.

I've been wanting to ski this for years. I've seen it in much better condition but since when is that a reason not to ski it?

The snow was sweet consolidated powder through here.
