After a warming trend that will continue into late week, an Arctic cold front will arrive Saturday along with a round of snow that may bring significant adverse travel impacts to north central and eastern NM. Snow packed and icy roads are possible on Saturday into Saturday night from the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and Central Highlands east to the Texas and Oklahoma borders. The coldest air behind the front will be felt across eastern NM going into Sunday, with frigid wind chill temperatures forecast. A second and stronger Arctic blast will arrive Monday into Monday night, bringing frigid temperatures and dangerous wind chills further west into the state and may prompt the issuance of Cold Weather Advisories. An additional round of snow Monday into Tuesday may be more widespread, but will still favor areas east of the central mountain chain with the potential for more significant adverse travel impacts. Residents of east central and northeast NM should prepare for an extended period of subfreezing temperatures beginning Saturday that will necessitate precautions for people, plants, pipes, and pets. Monitor NOAA weather radio, weather.gov/abq or your local media for the latest updates on this situation. For the latest road conditions, dial 511 or 1.800.432.4269, or visit nmroads.com.

About the Area
The Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico is located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The resort offers skiing and snowboarding on various mountain aspects, including north-facing slopes which tend to hold snow well and provide good conditions for skiing. The highest peak in the area is Wheeler Peak, which is the highest peak in New Mexico and provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Other notable peaks in the area include Baldy Mountain and Agua Fria Peak.
Angel Fire Resort is a ski resort in New Mexico known for its wide variety of trails and beginner-friendly terrain. The best trails include Exhibition, a black diamond run with steep pitches and moguls, and High Five, a blue square run with beautiful views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. 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. For beginner skiers, we recommend trying out the Perfect Progression program which offers personalized instruction and easy-to-ride lifts. After a day on the slopes, head to The Lift House Bar and Grill for an après ski drink and live music.
