I'm not one of the grizzly mountain men, but I'm creating this blog on their behalf. Bob and Larry Sims are 60+ years old and ski better than most 20 year olds (myself included!). For the record, I'm James (son of Bob) and hope to one day join the ranks of the grumpy old ski bums, but I think I need to wait 25 years or so.
The past several years, Bob has made it his goal to become a Taos local, and devote as many days as possible to the ski mountain. Larry has joined him on this noble quest, and now they can finally share pictures, videos and memories with all of us.
We recently took a trip to Taos, NM for MLK weekend- and Jonathan (son of Larry) and I got to join in on the skiing fun. To start off the blog, I'll post a video we made on our first ski day...
We took a short hike to Hunziker Bowl and Bob filmed Larry and I skiing down. Larry's first, then me... not our finest work!
Anyways- I'm going to turn over the blog to the mountain men themselves and hopefully you'll all enjoy taking part in my Dad's life goal of becoming a ski bum!!

Good times! Hunziker and the rock shop next to it were some of my favorite runs this trip!
