Bluebird skies and crisp morning temperatures set the stage for a classic spring skiing experience at Taos Ski Valley today. With an overnight low of 33°F, the snow is holding well on north-facing slopes, though softer conditions will emerge as the sun warms the mountain. The base depth sits at 29 inches—below average for this time of year—but thanks to a recent storm that dropped 25 inches, coverage remains solid on most groomed trails. Off-piste terrain is variable, so expect some mixed conditions ranging from packed powder in shaded areas to spring corn on sun-exposed slopes. No fresh snowfall is expected today, but pleasant temperatures and light winds should make for a stellar day on the mountain.
In local news, discussions surrounding the highly anticipated Taos Ski Valley gondola project continue, with a final decision now postponed until May. Meanwhile, the resort remains a standout favorite for skiers seeking an independent, sustainably minded destination. If you’re looking to explore beyond the slopes, consider hiking to Williams Lake, though ongoing talks with the Forest Service may impact access. For those staying late, expect stunning sunset views as you wrap up another unforgettable day in Taos.
