Taos Opens to Snowboarders in March
And then there were three. After a lifetime of turning its back on our one planked brothers and sisters, Taos announced plans to allow snowboarders in March. Now only three resorts remain closed to snowboarders: Alta, Utah, Deer Valley, Utah and Mad River Glen, Vermont. Here’s an article I wrote about Taos and here’s more on the announcement from ABC news.

That kind of bums me out…. I just don’t like the impact that snowboarders have on snow quality. They take snow off ruins and carve stuff up in irregular ways.

Its about time! Any mountain that is this off the back with snowboarding is just stupid. It is such a loss in revenue. Regardless of your opinion of snowboarding, it is a huge part of the snow sports industry. And you know what else, you stodgey old hardcores? It is actually fun:)
