Off Season Blues and Things to Do

It almost never fails to start up snowing again just as soon as the ski area closes, and this morning is no exception. We are expected to get 8 inches or more, oh well, guess I am too eager for summer. There are however things to do in the off season, you just have to be more creative. Throughout most of April Our Place Cafe at the Cove Arts Center has live music on Fridays and Saturdays, the Ritchie/Slater Winery at Black Lake and also in Angel Fire also has live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Many restaraunts are still open in the off season, The Pizza Stop, Yu Garden, Zebs, Tres Amigos, etc. but call ahead as many cut back their hours.

Many people never think to take advantage of the great public pool in Taos, it's a great way kill snowy day blues. Of course when the weather is nice there is a multitude of outdoor activities, hiking, fishing, sightseeing, and much more. A few important dates to remember are May 5 for the Moreno Valley High School Cinco de Mayo fundraiser party at the Community Center. If you missed this last year you don't want to miss it this years. It's a lot of fun and the live music is great. Also on the calender is the Angel Fire Spring Clean Up Day May 1st. It's a great way to spend the morning seeing all the locals. Check out our link to the activities calender and see if there is something for you. Of course as us locals know, there is always work to catch up on when there is nothing else to do.
