Resort is far south in New Mexico, so the snow quality can lack, but the runs can absolutely be exciting. Almost no moguls so expect many flat runs. Also be aware that it is rare that the entire mountain is open at one time, so the terrain park and lifts for advanced runs may be closed (as it was for me). Definitely watch the weather for this resort, because snow amount will 100% make or break your experience here.
