Why Angel Fire Bike Park dries this way
Angel Fire Bike Park (Santa Fe & Taos, NM) rides on gravelly loam soil that drains fast over terrain that sheds water and dries quickly. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. The NNW-facing aspect keeps the dirt shaded for much of the day, so moisture lingers after rain and snow is slow to clear, and the rolling terrain, about a 10.9° average grade at 9,840 ft, drains steadily rather than pooling.
