Never skied there, seems like I remember reading on here it is good for powder, after a storm it does not get all tracked out first day. I have a Tao's ski pass, but I want to venture over to wolf creek for some powder after a storm.
Wolf creek is "benchy" -- some good but fairly short steeps, with flat spots in between.there isn't much there for consistent, long pitches in the perfect powder skiing angles but it's a nice place. It gets a lot of snow so there's often powder.
Oh yeah, worth a visit for sure but I prefer longer, consistent pitches for powder skiing. The flat areas in between the short pitches are loooong though.Wolf creek is "benchy" -- some good but fairly short steeps, with flat spots in between.
It's still well worth skiing.
Be aware that Wolf Creek is liberal about opening terrain, so check snow depth reports before skiing where there is apt to be junk under the snow.
That's me. I'm 61 and on year 3 of getting back into snow skiing after a looong lay off from skiiing. I skied a lot of power in the 80's, but not much since then. Last season I had one good powder day at Taos, and I struggled, but I was also struggling in the bumps, but just started getting it together in the bumps end of season. I got some 95 under the foot all mountain skis, I want to get some fatter boards this season for powder. The whole fat ski thing is new to me as well.I think it's an awesome place for folks that aren't super strong powder skiers though.
Well then it's probably a better mountain for you right now than say, Taos. Taos is relentless and unforgiving.That's me.

I love Taos, Juarez, Mainsteet, I'm good with this steepness. I try not to go much steeper than these right now.. I'm doing ski week with the Ski Talk gathering, so hope to put it all together this season. But I skied everything in the 80's., and skied every day, but it is a whole new style of sking now, especially being old.Well then it's probably a better mountain for you right now than say, Taos.
