During the drought on the West Coast, many Californians skied Taos because of the abundance of snow. However, so many Californians showed up that the lift lines got a lot longer than the resort operators were used to. They passed out hot chocolate, apologizing for the long wait that was roughly ten minutes. A 10 minute lift line in California is nothing.
