So we had bought the Ikon passes last year before we committed to this trip, Over Christmas when we went skiing we looked at the other places that the Ikon pass works at. We’d always heard Taos was cool so we were interested to check it out.
We had brought ski pants and gloves with us but we did have to rent skis and boots 🎿 I’d been interested in the Black Pearl skis I kept hearing about so I ended up demo-ing them and they were awesome!! IsI’m going up keep an eye out for them.
Isabella also ended up demo-ing a pair (which was only $10 more) because they wouldn’t let us get the kid rental/price anyway. They were already bumping her up to the adult rate. I tried to tell them she’s only 12 and he just looked at me and said, “yes that’s great, but she’s bigger than my 30 year old”. I’m not ready for this. For her to be an adult. Nor to be paying adult prices for Isabella already… This has been happening all trip, especially if she orders from a kid menu (or Vegas buffet price) or other entrance fees, etc… They look at us and tell us only kids 5-12 get that rate. We tell them she’s 12. Most reluctantly allow it, while giving us a glare at the same time.
We had a great morning and afternoon. Had cute little 10oz beers at the Bavarian lunchery. Its fun skiing a new mountain and exploring. But there was a lot of lift riding to make your way around the mountain. The snow was Amazing!!
I’m not in the best spot to talk about the afternoon…so they say a picture is worth a thousand words…
