Dillon, CO, May 2018, Part 1

On April 14, 2020 By ARHLeave a comment

After an impromptu trip to Taos convinced me that 1) I do, indeed, love skiing and ski culture and 2) I should probably upgrade my equipment to 21st century technology, I visited my local ski shop and with the help of an expert boot fitter, I invested in new Lange boots. I chose new Rossignol …

Tahoe 2020, Day 5

On April 6, 2020April 6, 2020 By ARH2 Comments

I originally planned to spend a lazy morning at my hotel and then drive to Mount Rose Ski Tahoe for their Friday afternoon special, then check in to a Reno casino-hotel with comps (even though I didn't need to stay over) in order to freshen up before dinner and my redeye flight home. Since the …

Tahoe, February 2020, Day 4

I planned to only ski a half-day at Heavenly because I noticed deteriorating conditions, due to warming temps and lack of natural snow for weeks. Wednesday night, I reapplied some Base Boost, and set out all my gear so that I could hit first chair on Thursday. As I expected, the gondola line was much …

Tahoe, February 2020, Day 3

My hotel room had a drip coffeemaker. I am not fond of the pre-made coffee packets that work with hotel coffeemakers so I brought some Starbucks Via packets from home, as well as a small bottle of flavored coffee creamer, and a mess kit with a plate, 2 bowls, cup, utensils. I also brought a …

Tahoe February 2020, Day 2

After a great day at Donner Ski Ranch, I drove toward South Lake Tahoe, making a quick stop in charming downtown Truckee to pick up a water bottle to use while skiing - I left my beloved Platypus water carrier in the Reno hotel fridge! I prefer these flexible water pouches because they fit easily …

Reno/Tahoe February 2020, Day 1

All brands/companies listed are simply documenting my trip; I was not compensated in any way for presenting them here to you. I try my best to be value-conscious when planning my getaways, whether that means compromise on flight times to get a better deal, using coupon codes for rental car discounts, or bringing my own …

Taos – Part 3

On February 15, 2020May 19, 2020 By ARHLeave a comment

The altitude hit me pretty hard. I think this was my first trip to anything higher than the ski hills in Wisconsin since Colorado in 1995. The rental process went fairly smoothly, although I had trouble finding a boot that fit. Once I settled on something, I had the binders set up for me and …

Taos – Part 2

On February 14, 2020May 19, 2020 By ARHLeave a comment

My flight was pleasant enough, and after landing I headed to the rental car shuttle. I learned on the bus from a fellow passenger that there is a bus that goes from the ABQ airport to Santa Fe. I tucked that tidbit away for future NM trips. I really don't like to rent cars. I …

Taos, Part 1- Feb 2018

On February 14, 2020February 14, 2020 By ARHLeave a comment

I had only been back to skiing for a few years - and still using my 1990's gear! - when I began following snowsports-related websites and social media accounts. One Thursday afternoon, my phone flashed headlines touting a hearty powder dump, promising excellent conditions at Taos Ski Valley in Northern New Mexico. I did a …
