Recent Snowfall Boosts Ski Conditions

The executive director of Ski New Mexico said skiers should not be scared by the lack of snow in some places.
“Get out and enjoy it,” said Christy Germscheid.
She said natural snow levels are behind 2023 at all of 10 New Mexico’s ski resorts.
“There’s no better marketing tool than Mother Nature and God given snow,” Germscheid said.
She said ski areas are equipped to provide man-made snow with snowmaking machines if Mother Nature falls behind.
Germscheid said water and frigid temperatures are the only limits for assisting the snowmaking process.
She lives in Angel Fire in northern New Mexico and said skiing conditions were “beautiful” along with the Santa Fe Ski Area.
Germscheid said ski season in New Mexico starts in November as some locations opened earlier than normal thanks to a storm that dumped nearly four feet of snow in parts of the state.
She said the Pajarito Ski Resort opened early for the first time in decades thanks to the early snowfall.
“That November storm made a difference laying a foundation,” Germscheid said.
She said more snow is needed to help open more slopes for skiing.
Germscheid said snow chances in parts of New Mexico could increase on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. She said snow fall varies in parts of the state.
As of Tuesday, she said snow had fallen for four days in northeastern areas of the state dropping three inches.
Germscheid said a positive attitude and outlook helps for an anticipation of more snow.
“There’s a lot of ski season left,” she said.
