Ski Santa Fe Sneeuwverwachting

The lift staff were rude and busy chatting amongst themselves. One cursed out a child who was loading, who they should have assisted. A snowboarder crossed my skis from behind and as he fell into a mess it was clear that he was drunk. There doesn't seem to be a general sense of the fact that the downhill skiers have the right of way, as several times I heard uphill skiers/boarders yell "lookout" to those below them. I saw at least 6 big crashes involving 2 or more people. There are a decent number of beginner runs, but for a more experienced skier, not so many choices. I feel that a number of the runs marked black should really be called blue, as they were not at all steep, had no moguls, and no obstacles. I think Angel Fire is much better for families with young boarders, and Taos for expert skiers. In southern Colorado, Durango and Crested Butte seem to cover both these bases better as well (Durango being more challenging, in my opinion).
