Nice conditions for spring break week. A little fresh snow this week in a couple of spots. This is the final few days for Angel Fire and Red River (they both close this Sunday). This is also the time of the year for season pass sales for next season. This is often the cheapest price on your pass for next season. Remember, open groomed runs have the best coverage.
