Taos totally caved, brah.

Taos Ski Valley has dropped its ban on snowboarders. Hell officially freezes over on March 19, 2008.

When I was growing up in New Mexico, I saw plenty of "TAOS SUCKS" stickers in the liftlines. Snowboarders love to play the sulky victim, but it looks like they're gonna have to find somewhere else to whine about.

I wonder how this affects Burton's $5,000 "Poaching Video" contest. Is Taos still fair game, or is it a lame duck?

There are only three ski areas left in the U.S. that won't allow snowboarders: Mad River, Alta and Deer Valley. So stock up on those "ALTA SUCKS" stickers while you can!
