  The lift staff were rude and busy chatting amongst themselves. One cursed out a child who was loading, who they should have assisted. A snowboarder crossed my skis from behind and as he fell into a mess it was clear that he was drunk. There doesn't seem to be a general sense of the fact that the downhill skiers have the right of way, as several times I heard uphill skiers/boarders yell "lookout" to those below them. I saw at least 6 big crashes involving 2 or more people.
  There are a decent number of beginner runs, but for a more experienced skier, not so many choices. I feel that a number of the runs marked black should really be called blue, as they were not at all steep, had no moguls, and no obstacles.
  I think Angel Fire is much better for families with young boarders, and Taos for expert skiers. In southern Colorado, Durango and Crested Butte seem to cover both these bases better as well (Durango being more challenging, in my opinion).

  Went Saturday January 12th, 2008. Snow was OK, not great. We skied pretty much the whole mountain (mostly blacks) with the exception of the VERY rocky glades. Lines weren't bad, but my god, the lifts are SLOW. Do not go here if you except anything similar to a Colorado experience. This was my 3rd trip (other 2 to CO) this season and we probably spent 2.5 hours of the 6 riding lifts. They are slow, and constantly stopping because people do not know how to use one properly. NONE of the staff ever said a word to me getting on or off, nor was there one standing at the exit of the lift if someone were to fall, which is trademark of CO resorts. Price is right , but it was not worth the 5 hour drive each way, as we skied the whole mountain easily. The skill level of the skiers is POOR for the most part, I saw one ~40mph collision between a skier and boarder, and I was hit by a young girl "pizza-ing" down the whole mountain who yelled " I cant stop" as she was hitting me.
