Alright guys; I'm sick and tired of everyone saying "you can ski in New Mexico?" 

Well I'd say its pretty fucking obvious that you can given that we have more than a few resorts (Taos, Angelfire, Red River, Ruidoso, Cloudcroft, Sandia, Sante Fe, Enchanted Forest, Pajarito Mountain, Sipapu, etc).

There are definitely some decent skiers down here and we should be at least acknowledged in regionals. 

Here are shots from just this year!  I'd say its pretty fucking obvious that we get more pow than the east coast

its not obvious that you get more pow than the east coast since ive had days similar to that this year as well.

i went to new mexico to ski last year. got pounded with snow and had multiple powder days in the span of two weeks. gnarly terrain and some big mountains. definitely more snow than ontario.

I ski NM, Pajarito specifically is my home mountain.

Yes we do have good skiers IN New Mexico, but once you cross the border to Colorado or anywhere else I have found that we are not too much better than everyone else.

Especially park, first year riding PC, and wow I should have stayed in NM haha
