Hear, hear! I was really bummed when Taos allowed snowboards a few years back. I always though of it as a pure skier mountain. They needed the business though. It's too remote to not take everyone. It's not like you can fly in there and be on the lift in 30 min like Alta...unless you fly yourself. Toas takes some time to get to...but it's worth it.
