First day skiing at Taos- super lucky to have a couple of friends guiding us around the mountain. I don't remember route names, but with a 10 minute hike up to the ridge we accessed steep terrain towards Kachina Peak. 2 laps- man this mountain is kicking my ass! I'll go ahead and blame it on the elevation. Also pulling the "my alpine boots are so heavy" card. Snow was nice and chalky with soft pillows in spots. Beautiful sunny day!
