Replying to Taos or Crested Butte on a storm day?
Starting a big ol road trip tmrw and cant decide if I should head to Taos or Crusty Butt to start. Either way I’ll be skiing during the heart of the upcoming storm so main concern is which will have more lifts open considering Avy mitigation and wind holds. Not supposed to be too windy at Crusty but when I’ve skied there in the past on storm days most of the good stuff has been closed until 2 or 3pm for avy mitigation. On the other hand it’s supposed to be super windy at Taos but in my experience they get the steep stuff open faster so main concern would be wind hold. Any intel is appreciated!
