After doing reports and skiing amazing powder at Jackson Hole, Grand Targhee, and Alta, I felt that Taos would be a good throw back to appreciate where I come from. It was the day after Christmas and the report was showing 10in of overnight snow at Taos. I headed there with my brother, a legend in his own mind, and local legend, Todd Stewart.
