Kachina Basin in the Pre-Season

 Today it was off to Kachina Basin. This is the kind of tour that is more about uphill fitness and dialing in the equipment than chasing epic powder stashes. Having said that, I was surprised to get some chalky but high-quality powder.  In any case here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what Taos looks like today.

Kachina is not yet fully filled in but it won't take all that
much more to have a ball up here.

Cat tracks at the base of Kachina Basin.

The first of the Taos backcountry scene past Kachina Peak.

A tempting objective in the distance. I am new to the area so
could easily be wrong but looking at the map I am thinking
Gold Hill at 12,711' elevation.
