Reminhd me to elaborate someday for you the time I crashed skiing in Taos and tore up my mouth and lost teeth and had to call my folks from the hospital...

...while I was supposed to be at Ole Miss in school...lol...spring of 79. My dad woulda killed me if it weren't for all the maxiofacial crap they had to do to my face. My binding broke while I was curled over doing a straight down the black diamond run Rebel Yell and I slammed over straight into the tips of my K2s at probably about 60. Only time ski patrol ever carried me off a slope.

I used to go to New Mexico every other year for the first 20 or so years of my life to Santa Fe. Loved it...been awhile.

Had Season pass to Sandia and Santa Fe when I was stationed in NM and did the Taos slopes ONCE !......Damn Death Trap that place.....as you well know by now.....:o) They may groom the slopes a bit better these days but I do not like anything in or around Taos. Skied Pianco Valo in the Dolomites during my wingnut tour at Aviano alot.

My favorite place in the world for sking was Crested Butte in CO.........I think they named the place for my Girl Friday (story I tell her friends anyway :o) as all the face plants she did all I saw was a crested butt !

Stay Safe !
