Chukr, no snow in eastern NM at all. You closest riding is North at the CO state line, or South (Ruidoso). Either way lots of traveling time...

Chuckr I ride in Red River, NM every once in awhile which was good last january thru march of last year. But the area is pretty small but its good enough and plenty of snow to get a guy stuck real good.
Other option that I ride is Chama at the NM & CO line this is a good area on par with alot of places I have been around the country. They have a longer season and more technical riding areas. But this is probably farther away for you.
But I live in TX and drive 12hrs each way to ride so distance is all relative. We all do alot for our passion.

Chuck, you won't be too far from good riding. I can't speak personally for what NM has to offer since I'm new to the NM riding but from what I hear, it's pretty good especially up north. Snowest magazine recently put out a state by state guide of riding areas and it listed several places in NM, some of which I wasn't even aware of until I read it.
If you get into Southern Colorado/Northern NM, you'll have plenty of steep and deep to keep you busy.

I'm with these guys. Go north to Cumbres Pass for the best riding in NM. Wolf Creek Pass in Southern CO is usually awesome too.
I used to live in Alamogordo (stationed at Holloman too).
The snow's inconsistent but in a good year you can ride in Cloudcroft (elev 9K), about 30 minutes from Alamo. In general your riding will be limited to 3 day weekends and involve road trips north.
