Taos revisited

Article Abstract:

A personal narrative is presented describing a skier's experiences of returning to ski Taos, New Mexico, seven years after she had left it, in order to find out if the resort was still a haven for real skiers. Taos has maintained a skiers-only policy, in the face of opposition from snowboarders, and continues to be a favorite of ski enthusiasts.
