"Town of Taos Closed due to Blizzard..." - That was the headline this morning from the municipal offices in Taos. If you don't know already, Taos Ski Valley has received 37 inches of snow in the last 3 days!! Weather watchers are expecting another 1-2 feet between now and Thursday. That would put the storm total somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 feet of fresh powder by the time everything is said and done! Needless to say, the skiing is pretty epic in Taos right now. The best source for finding out the real "poop" when it comes to new snow is Tito, the Powder Hound Investigator.
I've got to let you know about a great new restaurant that opened up in Taos recently. It's called the Love Apple, which is named after the French saying for tomato. It is located on the north side of town next to the Blake's Lotaburger and is hosted in a great old Spanish mission church. The food there was amazing (been there twice now) and it is getting rave reviews from the locals. I had brazed lamb chops on a bed of baby spinach and blue cheese with a polenta cake. All I can say is it was delectable. My wife had a homemade chicken pot-pie, which was delicious. It is a little tough to find, even though it is on the main drag, but worth it.
