Red River/Taos Trip Summary
We just returned from a 3 day ski trip to Red River and Taos, NM. Ten of us including 2 previous and 2 new club members stayed at the Riverside Lodge in Red River. Thanks Brett for the recommendation, it was a great place to stay. Even though the snow wasn’t the best, the mountains staff kept the blue and green groomers well maintained and skiable enough that Jason Schoenhals and Phil Williams were able to close down Taos on the last day. Walter and Arena Foddis joined us for their first trip with the ski club and hopefully will join us again next year. The weather was great, warm with sun shining every day. Janice Hiatt skied at Red River and wore herself out on the first day. Dick Watts managed to get James to try skiing, it didn’t last long before James went back to a snowboard. Even though she doesn’t ski, Mary Watts drove out with Dick and James and enjoyed spending time in Red River shopping and painting.
We ate dinner together most evenings and Haven Willis taught everyone to play Swoop. I won’t say who won the game but everyone lost but me. We all had a great time hanging out with old friends and making new ones. I can’t wait for the next one.
