But it is a DRY cold.  Better dry snow and 10 than soaking rain in the 30's.  And does AK have pinyons? Low riders?  Luminarias?  Kit Carson's house (or is that Santa Fe?)?  Nooooo.

Yeah, Taos area is pretty damn cool and has a special place in our hearts as we both worked at Philmont (in Cimarron) at one time.

Northern NM is colder than southeast Alaska in the winter, though, by many degrees— it averages around the 30's in the winter in SE Alaska, and around 10 in Taos. Though you're right about the dark part.

I just got back from AK.  Too cold and dark in the winter.  Taos is much better from a light and heat perspective and the snow is drier for skiing.  The food is better (sans Salmon), than anywhere else.  The triculture-ness cannot be beat.  Did I mention the Chimayo Weavers Guild?  And let's not forget about the chile.  There...glad that is settled.

Oh, that's a possibility, as is Alaska.. I'm just speaking from a statistical standpoint... 80% of my options are in WY and MT.  Who knows where the wheel will land?....

Wait!  What happened to New Mexico?  As in Chimayo, outside of Taos?  I need a high-elevation, red chile source!

You know there's an 80% chance we're moving to WY or MT?... That's just the way (statistically) this might be working out. If we end up in Wyoming, we will strive to be as cool as the current residents. Though I will tell you right now that I won't be making pie or canned goods. Appy is the cook in the family.

Hey, look!  Whoever made that map labeled Montana as "Wyoming," and doesn't really seem to care about Colorado, either.  Huh.
