Taos this weekend

[doublet]

I'm heading to the Taos area this weekend and I'm planning one day of lift served, and one day of backcountry. Two quick questions for anyone who has skied down there:

Where are the best places to access the backcountry? Any specific recommendations about what will be good this coming weekend? I'm staying in Taos, but don't mind driving a ways to get to the goods.

It doesn't look there is an avalanche forecast center for NM. Any advice on finding an avalanche report, or should I just plan on digging a ton of pits?

Thanks for the beta! If anyone wants to hook up and ski gimme a shout out.

John -

It would be sick if you could make it. I'm meeting ihateboulder in South Denver tomorrow around 6 PM to carpool down there. Give him a PM for all the relevant details.
