Everything is Relative

When you step back a few paces, most things in life are somewhat relative. In this case, I'm speaking of skiing. Taos Ski Valley has about 35" of snow, is making snow nightly, the other neighboring areas have a little less total snow. One of Colorado's ski areas (that sells as many lift tickets as the entire state of NM does) has only 22". Although 35 isn't all that much, it beats the heck out of 22. Skiing this Christmas holiday is relatively good in Taos compared to central Colorado or even the Lake Tahoe areas. It's not too late to plan that trip up for the New Years celebration!

Speaking of NYE, Taos Ski Valley will do a torchlight parade with fireworks the 31st. If you've never attended such an event, make it this year! The parade starts at 6 PM. Fireworks between 7 and 8 PM +/-. and a party at the Martini Tree Bar at 8 PM ($20 cover, show starts at 9 PM). Remember to have a designated driver.
