Bring on the Snow! Snowmaking Begins at TSV.

Most everybody is sleeping.  It is dark and cold.  Suddenly, a roar rips through the valley breaking the silence.  That’s right, it is snowmaking season again. Taos Ski Valley’s dedicated teams of snowmakers are getting ready to do what they do best, make snow and get the mountain ready for a Thanksgiving opening.

With winter setting in and daytime temperatures dropping, snow guns will be operating 24 hours a day.  The crews will make snow on 100% of TSV’s beginner and intermediate terrain, giving Taos Ski Valley the largest snowmaking coverage area in the region. Mountain Manager Bill Etchemendy said, “The key ingredients in snowmaking are air, water, and air temperatures below 28 degrees which we have had for the last couple of days” Snowmaking continues until the middle of January.

The recent snowfall and cold temperatures have everyone at Taos Ski Valley gearing up for a great season. For more information about everything going on at TSV this winter go to www.skitaos.org.
