So, my room mate keeps going on and on about how cool it is here, definitely not a destination. I'm thinking of checking it out this winter with some buddies, and supposedly the city of Taos at its base is dope also.

Angel Fire Resort...

skied there last year a bunch, park is really sick but the mountain isn't as good as others in the area. Taos Ski Valley is just wild for terrain so i would check that out for sure.

Here's my ramble- I've never ridden Angel Fire, but have driven by it. The park is apparently amazing. But here are my observations on Taos town:

Taos city (more like a town) is an interesting and weird mix of people.

It's the the usual strip mall sprawl entrance, which goes on for miles, and then a smattering of galleries and old adobe buildings in the downtown, and then there's amazing stuff like the view of the Enchanted Circle from the Low Road, the Ranchos de Taos church (of Ansel Adams and O'Keefe fame), the pueblo, the Rio Grande Bridge, etc.

Pretty cool place to visit, but as for living there, I'm not sure about the vibe, it's sounds somewhat raw with a the very rich and very poor and a little bit in between.

Oh, right, Taos Ski Valley is amazing. Unfortunately the weather cooperated the day I had to leave, with a 24 inch dump that closed all the upper chairs.

Angel Fire isn't that great.  I ski there fairly frequently and the park is ok at best.  They usually have a jump line with two medium sized jumps and a couple other fun features but all in all it doesnt compare to what colorado has going on.  If you head down that way make sure to hit up Taos.  The terrain there is awesome and it is worth the trip.
