Welcome to the site.
Questa? Farther West in Chama? Not Farmington (you'd be stopped there!). I was a season pass holder at Taos Ski Valley for a few years starting in 1976, before I turned 18. I bought the pass before the end of August and got the 10% discount, so instead of $150 it was $135. No kidding. I paid $270 for the following two years ($300 - 10%). No blackout dates like they have now. Times have changed, eh? I actually learned to ski at Sipapu before that, and was ready for the steep bumps and steep glades from the old poma lift #1 (ran on the left side of Al's run).

Thanks buddy!! I’m in Las Vegas (the real Vegas, we like to call it lol) …I know Taos well! I lived in Taos back in the late 80’s early 90’s and went to school with some of the Blake children (who owned the ski valley back then) before it became too expensive for the locals! I learned to ski at Pajarito Mountain by Los Alamos and I learned to snowboard at Sipapu! Never been to Farmington but drove close to it on the way to Navajo lake… I never got good enough to hit Al’s run but it was a rite of passage I remember that!

Moved to Sapello in 1970, and temps hit -40 in Winter storms for two years in a row! 4 to 6 foot drifts in the canyon there on 518 just North of the gas station. That was when there was a real Winter in Northern New Mexico, Then moved to Montezuma behind the old Seminary when it was still inhabited by Jesuit priests from Mexico. Lived in Montezuma and Albuquerque. I miss the State, but career took over.

I should keep in touch to get news about cases of Young guns at Lowe's. I think the harvest will have an early batch again, and much later if the drought hits the places without good irrigation.
