Latest Report Updated: Thursday, March 19, 2020 7:53 AM

The season came to an abrupt end on Sunday with Santa Fe, Taos, and Red River closing to help combat the COVID-19 (coronavirus). And Purgatory and Wolf Creek closed at the order of the Colorado governor. There is a possibility that Purgatory and Wolf Creek could reopen after next Sunday, as their closure right now is just for one week (until March 22). On Monday of this week Angel Fire closed for the season. And Pajarito, Sipapu and Arizona Snowbowl closed on Tuesday.

Here’s part of what Ben Abruzzo from Ski Santa Fe wrote to us: “While it is certainly possible to ski and ride while maintaining the recommended distance from one another, the reality is that lift lines, restrooms, food facilities, the rental shop and our social nature make social distancing at a ski area nearly impossible. Communities, businesses and governments have begun to face the necessity that sometimes drastic measures are needed to combat the crisis that is facing all of us. I want nothing more than to remain open and to enjoy a few more weeks of spring skiing, but the collective health and safety of our community must come first.”

Highlights: Angel Fire open through today (Monday)… Pajarito and Sipapu still open daily. Arizona Snowbowl (Flagstaff) open daily too.
