About this forecast
Taos Ski Valley is a ski resort in New Mexico with a base at 9,207 ft and a summit at 12,481 ft, 3,274 ft of vertical. This page checks NOAA's hourly forecast at the base and the summit every time you load it and works out the wet-bulb temperature, which is what decides whether snow guns can run. Snowmakers can start below 28°F−2°C wet-bulb, and make good snow below 25°F−4°C.
