Taos is currently under a Winter Storm Warning and the snow is really starting to fly this afternoon. The resort has already seen a FOOT of new snow at their base area and after giving their webcams a quick once-over, it’s obvious this is the first big one of the season for the Land of Enchantment.

NOAA is projecting upwards of 14″ with temps dipping into the mid-20’s overnight. Winds shouldn’t be crazy but expect gusts of up to 20mph out of the Northwest. Santa Fe, Angelfire, and Ski Apache should also see decent accumulations.

LET IT SNOW!
