I Can’t Wait To Get Myself Back To The Highline Ridge @ Taos Ski Valley! http://www.kidsfunpeak.com/Taos%20Kids%20Fun%20Peak%20Childrens%20Blog/?p=926 http://www.kidsfunpeak.com/Taos%20Kids%20Fun%20Peak%20Childrens%20Blog/?p=926#comments Thu, 17 May 2012 03:43:51 +0000 admin http://www.kidsfunpeak.com/Taos%20Kids%20Fun%20Peak%20Childrens%20Blog/?p=926

Anna McMillian slashes the "NO NAME" Chute off of the Highline Ridge in Taos. It was well worth the hike! What a view! These were some of the best turns of our lives!

My close friend Anna gave me such a beautiful gift, the gift of ass-deep powder. She took me to Taos Ski Valley for such an epic day. The snow report said 14″ in 24 hours, but as you can see, we managed to find a few deeper spots. My first hike on the Highline Ridge was so beautiful and awe-inspiring. You can see the beautiful backcountry that borders the resort, the light was just sick that day! I can’t believe it took me so long to get my ass up there! I am so stoked to have shared the experience with Anna, who I have been riding with since neither of us could make a pretty turn; things certainly have changed. Now we can charge together! I might have to save enough money for two passes this next season…

We picked up our trusty Ford Focus (yay, fuel economy!) at Enterprise and spent the day taking the scenic route, via Pueblo and Taos, plus some abrupt side-of-the-highway photo-ops. I don’t think my little phone camera could begin to do justice to the vast scenery we saw along the way, but I’ll attach a few shots. Hopefully Jason got some better ones with his real camera. A delicious recommendation led us to Tomasita’s for dinner, where we stuffed ourselves on red and green chiles. After a long day of driving and a very filling meal, we both passed out pretty quickly.

TAOS SCHOOL OF MUSIC NAMES SUMMER 2012 STUDENT PARTICIPANTS:

EMINENT SUMMER CHAMBER MUSIC SCHOOL CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY

 

    Kathleen Anderson Knox, Executive Director of the Taos School of Music, announced today the names of the nineteen students selected through a highly competitive national audition process to participate in the 2012 summer season.

“We couldn’t be more pleased and excited about welcoming this special group of fine young chamber musicians to refine their performance skills at Taos Ski Valley this summer,” said Anderson Knox. “We’ve got a significant nation-wide representation, from the New England Conservatory, as well as graduates of Julliard, Curtis Institute of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Colburn School of Music in Los Angeles, San Franscisco Music Conservatory, and University of Michigan School of Music.”

Taos School of Music, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious summer music programs, this year celebrates its 50th anniversary with a special concert series, Opus 50. As is customary, this group, ranging in age from 18 to 27, includes two pianists, five cellists, four violists, and eight violinists. They will receive instruction from some of the world’s leading chamber musicians, including Michael Tree, founding member of the Guarneri String Quartet.

For information on Opus 50 as well as Young Artist concerts to be performed at the Hotel St. Bernard in Taos Ski Valley and at Taos Community Auditorium  during June-August,  please go to http://taosschoolofmusic.com/.
