Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico to open
Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico opens its slopes to snowboarders Wednesday. But two-plankers shouldn't panic, because the mountain has such sheer pitches that relatively few snowboarders are likely to attempt them. Also, all of the black descents are littered with big, tight moguls.
So if you're a skier and stick to the resort's 40-degree inclines, you'll seldom hear the grind of a snowboard. Uh, dude, you sure we're in the right place? Info: (866) 968-7386 or www.skitaos.org
 Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up. |
