And now onto the next phase, where I run a small but mighty national nonprofit that works to inspire people of all ages to protect and steward our high mountain snowscapes. Advice, complaints, spiritual and financial support welcome. @winterwildlands https://t.co/yUHBrB9f61
Welcome to the club dear friends all across the right coast. Please join us in supporting policies that address and mitigate climate crisis on a global scale. https://t.co/EGZsYhTvJo
"...further development will degrade the water quantity and quality in villages along the Rio Hondo. We are asking the U.S. Forest Service to place a moratorium on further development on the mountain until basic infrastructure issues are resolved." https://t.co/82cG0XS4il
"We want a public meeting. We don't want an 'open house'." "Hear! Hear!" Taos locals push back on fast-track @CarsonNF process to approve high-impact commercial development @TaosSkiValley (mutiny at 35:11). The process is broken. @RepTeresaLF@TeamHeinrich https://t.co/UzkAj00TnE
Public comment on Draft EA for proposed Taos gondola project extended to May 15. Serious concerns re water, sewage, public access for hikers, fishermen and bc skiers... At min let's demand full EIS w/ range of alternatives. @winterwildlands@Gabe_NM https://t.co/vjLvKs9H6i
There are so many better, more practical, more cost effective and immediate (and less environmentally impactful) ways to start tackling traffic in LCC than to build a billion-dollar boondoggle.
🚫🚠Action and comments needed!
UDOT has opened yet another, and crucial, comment period. This one pertains to whether building a gondola would violate the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (RACR).

I spent time at incident command to speak to our first responders about resources needed to dig out our mountain communities & make our homes & families safe. The state of emergency is helping, and I’ve asked President Biden to also stand ready for a federal disaster declaration.
The @Interior has announced plans to restore healthy populations of American bison across our nation’s grasslands. We are pleased to see these steps to restore our #publiclands which will have benefits across the board for climate, plants, wildlife, outdoor recreation and Tribes.
This morning’s dawn run to Reno to pick up first three cases of #ski_kind mountain lager currently on weather hold. Auspicious start to a month-long ski road trip?
The remarkable @Crftsbryoutdoor, where you can ski town to town, meet Olympians, and save the planet - my latest in @nytimestravel

The ongoing storm is one of the most impressive in history for the southern 1/3 of California.
- @mthigh saw 65" of snow in 24 hours (2" shy of CA record)
- All-time rainfall records set in San Joaquin Valley
- 5-10" of rain in Hollywood area
- Accumulating snow down to 1,000'
Privilege: spent Sunday shoveling snow, put ski boots on at 3p, 4 laps on Chair 22, deep refills in Avy 3 then followed rope line out to the tail for fresh tracks down to LMR. Skied down the road to the tunnel, skinned up, walked home through twilight woods for dinner.
