Mini TR - Spring-like skiing in Northern NM 2/12/06

[GeoMatt]

Every few weeks I see a thread discussing the lack of snow in NM, or questions about coverage at Taos. These photos should help answer some of those questions. It is very thin this year, but the snowpack has finally stabilized enough to ski some interesting lines in the bc. I won't give away this location, but if you have skied in the Taos area before you can figure out where this is.

I'm sure Alain and Jean have spent countless hours this year debating which wax is faster on grass and scree.
