A Beautiful Spring Snowfall

It's a little-known secret that the Southern Rocky Mountains receive most of their snow-laden moisture in the Spring months of March, April and May.  The relatively dry winter left us all wondering if the Spring would bring its bounty.


The answer has been "Yes."  Our friends at Taos Ski Valley have reported several feet of heavy wet snow in the last few weeks.  Too bad the lifts are closed.


But the moisture does bode well for the river running we so enjoy.


White water, anyone?
