WHILE SOME NEW MEXICO SKI AREAS HAD TO CLOSE EARLY THIS YEAR DUE TO LACK OF SNOW… THAT'S NOT THE CASE AT TAOS SKI VALLEY. WITH THE SEASON SET TO END SUNDAY, SPOKESWOMAN ADRIANA BLAKE TELLS 770 KKOB IT'S BEEN A PRETTY GOOD YEAR, WITH CONSISTENT SNOWFALL. SHE SAYS SNOWFALL TOTALS THIS YEAR WERE ABOUT AVERAGE, AT 217 INCHES.
BLAKE ESTIMATES THAT THEIR TOTAL SKIER VISITS THIS YEAR WILL BE AROUND 220-THOUSAND, WHICH ISN'T BAD. BLAKE SAYS IT'S BETTER THAN THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. IN FACT, SHE CALLS MARCH AN "AWESOME" MONTH FOR BUSINESS.
SUNDAY IS ALSO THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON AT SKI SANTA FE.
