Yes. A few friends have been van living up there for years. The corp has tried to enforce new "guidelines" for the parking lot but they can't do shit; it's National Forest. If you make good with Village of Taos Ski Valley police (all 3 of them), you're golden.Quote:

Trying to decide if I should book a trip for end of March. Even though things are looking up, still kinda dicey to look too far ahead. Have there been any years where highline ridge wasn't mostly open end of March? Place shuts down April 1 I think.
Official closing day is April 1. Last year it was bumped back a week due to late opening / lots of snow. Fingers crossed we'll get that again.pQuote:

Less terrain is open and more rocks than normal.Quote:

As for that hike now needed to reach Taos’ out-of-this-world out-of-bounds skiing, Blake says of plans to one day erect a lift to service it, "I'll leave that to future generations. I'm very happy with my area as it is now. It's a dream come true, much more really than I ever expected. That lift is in the master plan, but in a way it would be a shame to build it. Most Americans don't get enough exercise anyway."

“...be a shame to build it” Never should have built that lift!
Lifts spin tomorrow.
Good for them. Fingers crossed it's finally a good year down there.
We may be passing through, is there dispersed camping off of 150? Some place for a small trailer on the national forest (besides up at the village)?
There are a couple-three USFS campgrounds on the way up from town, but they’re usually locked up starting about now. 150 runs through a pretty narrow steep-sided canyon, so there aren’t a lot of roads off of it. They usually allow self-contained camping up at TSV in one of the parking lots, but I’m not positive about that since the new ownership. I live not too far away, so I don’t do too much dispersed-style camping near there, but I think a good bet for nearby might be on BLM land out on the mesa.Quote:

Anyone have beta on the bc up by TSV? Heading to Taos for a long weekend this weekend and wanted to know how the coverage is going up the Williams lake trail. With wife and pup, so looking for a mellow tour basically equivalent to a Nordic ski.
And/or opinions on Sipapu? Have free days there with the Loveland pass, just not sure if it'll be a zoo with the holiday and only some of the area open.

Read the post just above yours. There's a link where you're likely to find beta.Quote:

Maybe they'll get terrain open now :p
Glad to see the snowpack down there is like mid february from last year if not more already.
This was one of the better storms here in the last few years. Still, need just a little better base to keep you off the rocks.
