It’s the final weekend for Santa Fe, Angel Fire and Red River. Many resorts are pushing snow around to keep key runs open, which forces the closing of other runs. Spring skiing conditions everywhere. Hit the groomers first in the morning and then expect soft and slushy snow in the afternoon, especially in the base areas.
