Hey @KingGrump, any idea if conditions are ok for mtb'ing around Taos? I'll be out for ski week with the crew that's going the week of Feb 11th and wondering if we'd be able to ride this area one afternoon:

Looking forward to meeting you & making some turns! Doing some pretty serious work on my snow dance as well.
Does anyone know if things are as bad as they look on the webcams? Flying out on the 27th and I'm thinking of taking only my beater skis if cover is thin and/or rocky.
thanx in advance!

I have heard that there is little snow in NM. It is strictly groomer skiing on man made. After tomorrows storm I am pretty sure MTB up in the mtns will not be possible down there. The new snow will not be enough to open new terrain but it will make the area look winter like and freshen up the slopes that are already open. It is an amazing area but it is FAR from everything. If you have a car you can drive to Wolf Creek (2h:45m) which should have a lot of terrain open after tomorrow. If it were me I would have cancelled my trip (I focus more on skiing) but If I could not I might as well just relax, enjoy what is there and take time to explore surrounding areas. NM is a special place and way different than most areas in the west.
All I know is I was skiing all last week and am not sure where I was as I couldn't see the hill!!!Don't bother with the rock skis. Just bring you race skis.
Groomers only at this point. The groomers are groomed and covered very well. No rocks.
Season to work on technical.
Give me a shout if you want to make a few turns together.
Yeah, they are famous for being extremely willing to open terrain and leaving it up to you to decide if it is skiable.Yeah..... don't bother with Wolf Creek. They have plenty of terrain "open", but it is a loose interpretation of terrain that has enough snow on it to be skied
