Snowboarding looks hella fun when you know what your doing. Is it harder than skiing? I imagine it is. -_- I went to Taos and skiied for my first time, i loved it, except that i sucked ass! Snowboarding looks so much funner. =)
@Haxorzero Snowboarding isn't harder than skiing, it's kind easy actualy, so long as you stick with it past your first one or two days. I'm going to taos ski valley in a few days and I am SUPER PUMPED.
I'd say it's intermediate terrain. If you can control your edges you should be fine boarding at Taos. If you want a good challenge in New Mexico goto Pajarito! It's STEEP and FAST! :)
Yo, Im a sponsored boarder and i was wondering if you saw the park because i went on the taos website and couldnt find pictures of it. if so then what kind of features are there.
Yeah there is some decent features at the Taos terrain park but no half pipe. Some rails and jumps. There is a 1/4 pipe that you can ride up then back down (at least there was last year-I believe it was in the video?). If you really want a good park you should check out Angel Fire. They have a park there that has it's own lift servicing ONLY the terrain park and have a half pipe (not a super pipe), table tops, steel rails, funboxes, they even had a short bus you could grind on the roof! ;)
you know, i'm fine with these snow boarders who know what they're doing, but its those holday-crowd teenagers that think they can do the steeps that piss me off
I don't think posers are going to be hiking the steeps at Taos. The stuff there is pretty hardcore and was not lift accesed. I don't recall a bunny "path" to the chutes...
The worst thing on ANY mountain is a skier/boarder who decides to stop right in the middle of a blue run. I don't care i you are a two planker of single planker GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!! Get off to the side of the run at least!!!
The sad thing is the posers usually stay in the park while the skiers get in my way!!
some of the best terrain in New Mexico hell no. how about THE BEST TERRAIN IN NEW MEXICO and thank god I am not forced to board in santa fe now
