A fresh week of skiing kicks off at Angel Fire Resort with crisp overnight temperatures of 27.9°F and a 12-inch base. While the snowpack remains below average for this time of year, skiers can look forward to reinforcements on the way. A light dusting of half an inch is expected today, with a promising 6+ inches forecast over the next 72 hours and up to a foot within five days. This means improving conditions as the week progresses, making for soft turns and fresh powder stashes across the mountain.

Meanwhile, anticipation is building for the return of the famed Shovel Race Championships, a unique and thrilling event that draws locals and visitors alike.

An interesting fact about the resort is that it was originally developed in the 1960s by a group of Texas businessmen who wanted to create a ski resort closer to their home state.
