Heading down there next weekend for the kiddo's big mountain comp. What can I expect after a week of mid-30s weather and a subsequent cooldown? Should I be bracing for bulletproof, or can the chalk on that north facing terrain hold up to the heat?

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.
Pleasant warm and sunny on the hill. Feels like 50+ deg out but snow is still cold on most aspects.
Thanks to Benny and Skared for the lowdown on my 1st trip to Taos. Stayed at La Fonda 3 nights walked to dinner at Doc's and the Taproom. There was some music at the Taos Inn. Saturday was awesome. Kachina opened and though cut up by hikers the day before was great. Found some pow in the trees. My girlfriend charged West Ridge chutes where I was a bit intimidated at times by the drop in's. I think it's the friendliest resort ever! On Monday there were power grid issues and some lifts didn't run but we had to head home at 1 so all good. Some aspects of West Ridge were slushed because it was so warm. The Big Comp might get interesting.
Thx Taos! 5 super sunny warm days on the hill. Tomcat51 is a ripper, good meeting up!
One of the coolest hills in the country for sure!
Had a great time skiing with ya byates1!
My week in Taos every year is always my favorite. This week was the definition of spring skiing and was super fun!
Awesome day at Taos today! Really deep in spots off west basin, had my run of the year so far in wonder bowl. Was still snowing when I left around 3
I’m so hitting that tomorrow.
How do I get a care package of the Rellonos?
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

I did. Taos seems to be quite open to all.
As there should be or shouldn't be I guess. After skiing Taos and looking around at the terrain and knowing a little about their snowpack there I was so damn impressed with the ski patrol there. That's a top notch class act they have going on there dealing with that terrain and touchy pack. They are some serious pros that should be respected world wide.

Taos does not suck.

TSV proposes major upgrades, including replacing Lifts 2 & 8 and a gondola from the base up to the area of the Bavarian.

We were there for Texas spring break this year and I couldn't believe how slow chair 2 was moving. Ridiculous. I don't remember it being that slow. I read they slow it down for Texas. Made lapping that chair painful. Thankfully we mostly just lapped the Kachina Skytrac, which seems to be running great.
I wish they would run the proposed Gondi to the top of Chair 7, angle station to the bottom of chair 4.
Would give another way to lap the Chair 4/7 area, and another way to get people out of the base area and up skiing in the morning.
