If anyone had any doubt that winter was on its way to New Mexico, those doubts have been covered up by the heavy early season snow that was deposited over the Sangre de Cristo's on Tuesday, October 14. Up to a foot of snow has been reported on the high terrain near Taos Ski Valley. This is good news for powder hounds everywhere with the season only six weeks away.
The snow that fell was very wet and heavy and that is the kind of stuff you need early in the season to create a good stable base. The more water content the snow has, the better it will bond to layers that fall on top of it and that means less avalanches. Less avalanches means the base builds quicker. Keep the storms coming!
