Let it snow in New Mexico: Make the most of the state's spring skiing
Magazine voted one New Mexican resort, Taos Ski Valley, the best place for spring skiing this year.Add the fact that even when it’s snowing the sun can still shine bright in New Mexico, making for a booming après-ski patio scene, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better place for a spring skiing getaway. In a one-week span I visited four resorts, making for a great road trip, but for those less willing to log the kilometres (or should that be miles?), these resorts offer plenty of variety to keep you busy for a full week.
Taos Ski Valley
There’s a sign at the bottom of the hill in Taos Ski Valley that reads, “Don’t panic, you’re only looking at 1/30 of Taos Ski Valley. We have many easy runs too.” It’s cheeky, but also true, considering the mountain’s daunting facade of steep, expert runs is enough to frighten any novice skier.
With 3,000 feet of vertical over 110 runs, there’s always a beginner or intermediate run to get you down safely — provided you heed the sign at the top of Lift 1 that asks novices not to proceed any farther.
