Blizzard Conditions in Taos - Mother Nature Gets Taos Ready for the 08-09 Season


You would have thought it was mid winter in Taos Ski Valley judging by the pictures in this story, but it isn't. In fact, these pictures were taken this week by Seth Bullington. A foot of snow fell this week and the slopes look like they are filling in nicely. Even Tito, the Powder Hound found his share of powder stashes in the Twining Valley.

More snow is forecast for Monday as another front is set to come through New Mexico ski country and I couldn't be more jazzed.

On a side note, there are a couple exciting things going on at Taos which you may not have heard about. They are clearing an area called "North American" which is to the skiers left of the famed Al's Run. There will be a ton of new extreme terrain options available as soon as the snow gets deep enough. They are also building a new beginner area just to the left of lift one in the main base area. This is a huge improvement for new skiers and is nice gentle terrain just steps from the main lodge. There are also some great 4th night free deals for the winter. Wax up the boards!
