This photo is a little dark because it turns out that the ski valley is actually pretty tucked away, with the sun behind the mountains. But I think you can make out the creek flowing behind me, with the bridge spanning the remote section of it.
One thing about having a guest in town is that I finally made it up to Taos Ski Valley!
My friend snapped a photo of me and Magic. She had quite a time frolicking around. I couldn't tell if it was that she was just that excited about the new smells and sounds, or if she was just that cold. It was really darned cold up there!
We didn't stay long, but it was worth the trip to see things like these trolleys and snow mobiles.
Some neighbors were up their skiing for the day, but we missed them, so just came back down and had the most amazing burgers at a diner I like in town. Got to watch a little Sunday night football for the first time in probably 20 years! The Giants lost, I believe, but don't quote me on it. I only knew it was over when all the guys who had been hooting and hollering left.
Did you know that TSV is considered one of the top 10 ski resorts in the US?
Here's a professional photo of the resort taken from one of the ranking sites.
If you decide to make a trip of it at some point, let me know. I'll take you for a great burger after your day on the slopes.
I love the snow!!! Haven't been in ages. You look so cute all wrapped up!!

LOL, I wish I’d had on long johns underneath! It was really cold. That’s a sport I just don’t get.

Looks awesome! I love the experience of skiing and snowboarding but enjoy the hot chocolate, food and drinks afterwards even more. Always look forward to doing once a year but it may not happen this year given how busy it has been for me lately. Enjoy!

It's funny how many people just love skiing! I'm more a tropical beach kind of gal.
Looks great! I still haven't had the chance to go skiing yet !
I've only gone once in my life, and all I did was fall down the hill all day! IMHO, you have missed nothing but icy bruises.
hahah actually I remembered I went to a mountain in Switzerland but we only had a bobsleigh, no skiing action!
Damn...snow looks so nice...
I don't even remember when was the last time I touched snow. I have to travel to Northern Greece during December / January for that...
That resort seems a perfect destination to spend some time during winter. Winter is coming John Snow... ;)
You guys are so funny. Yes, winter is indeed coming. And you are more than welcome to trade me a little Greece for a little Taos!

You see, you're embracing the cold and the snow now, you're even managing to force a smile lol
You take, never leave home without your thermals!
It was definitely a “smile for the camera.” Either that or just my chattering teeth! But glad to now be able to cross it off my bucket list. And my 2 guests enjoyed it.

Nice to watch and get in the mood a bit already. Heading for Austria myself the second week of January. Can hardly wait.
Wish you a great time there.
Have fun on the slopes! Dress warm!... but I guess when you're skiing you work up the body heat.
Thank you. Once I'm on the slopes my body heats up automatically already, lol.
Alas, I can confirm the Giants lost!
Thought so.
Seems like you had funny. Enjoy your time with your visitors.
Thanks

STOPLooks awful cold for a gal who doesn't enjoy the winter. It is good to get out in the cold, as it makes you appreciate the warmth that a good shelter provides.
Sometimes we take things like heat for granted until we are freezing.
Hope you enjoyed your visitors.
Wow.... I want photography this big mountains :)
