Powderjunky: February 6, 2010 Uphill: 2,000 ft. | Downhill: 2,000 ft.

Finally, made it down to ski the Taos Ski Valley. Heard there is a monster lurking in the snowpack so we played it safe and stuck to some mellow slopes right off the lake. We dug a pit and found a one footish not too cohesive snow sitting on top of 3 feet of facets and sugar snow. That could get real scary if there was a more cohesive slab on it. Anyway inbounds at Taos has been sick with more snow on the way.
