Avalanche Forecast - Northern New Mexico
<p>We are putting the 2025-2026 operating season on hiatus until further notice due to overall low snow coverage after what's been an extremely low snow year. Current long range weather models show very little moisture for Nothern New Mexico through the end of March, but we'll provide an update to the avalanche forecast if a pattern shift occurs and we see any significant snowfall or conditions that warrant it through roughly mid-April.</p> <p>Continue reading for relevant information on avalanche considerations and trip planning over the next few weeks.</p>
