Pros: Big ski area with lots of challenging terrain, great ski school Cons: Scattered, centerless ski village, limited non-ski activities, limited lodging choices
Taos is most certainly the biggest and most well-known of the New Mexico ski resorts. It's not the oldest though, and it's not without some critics. Taos is an old-school kind of place. The emphasis is very much on pure skiing in the true alpine ...
Pros: good ski school, nice runs, no lift lines, lots of hard slopes for advanced people Cons: man-made snow, sort of icy, expensive food
Taos was our resort of choice for a youth ski trip sponsored by our congregation over winter break. The group has been going to Taos for 10 years now, but this would be my first time at this particular resort. I enjoyed my time at Taos, but I...
Pros: Challenging skiing; numerous runs and lifts Cons: Few beginner runs; no on-site lodging.
Five years of skiing experience at Wolf Creek, Colorado, Red River, New Mexico and Angel Fire, New Mexico did not prepare us for our Taos experience. We thought we were bringing enough skiing experience to rival the pros... little did we know what was...
Pros: Ski school, convenience, food, expert slopes Cons: Number of rooms, not designed for day skiers
I have skied Taos for more than 20 years, as well as many resorts in Colorado and Utah. I believe it offers the most unique ski opportunity in the country.
First, the area is known for it's steep, challenging terrain. More than 1/2 the runs...
While I was surfing the net for our Tenth Wedding Anniversary, I came across Taos Ski Valley. What drew my attention was that it was for Skiers only no Snowboarders.
The other factors were its top rated Ski School geared for the...
Pros: Nice terrain, challenging slopes, ridge. Cons: limited apres-ski, not a lot of variety.
When you think about skiing in the West, New Mexico is not the first state to come to mind; you're more likely to take a look at Utah, Colorado, or Wyoming. Therefore I wasn't sure what to expect when I went on a group skiing trip to Taos Ski Valley two...
Pros: steep terrain, crisp snow, good technical mountain Cons: not good for beginners/intermediates, food is only fair, nothing to do but drink
I admit to having a love-hate thang with Taos. Taos is not the place to go if you're planning on faking your expert status. If you can talk the game AND play the game, then enjoy the 2 hour drive from the Albuquerque airport, because that's the only...
Pros: Challenging run, no snowboards to dodge Cons: conditions can vary--stay updated on snowfall
I had a great time at Taos, and not only because it is one of few resorts that bans snowboards. The mountain was very challenging--not a place for beginners--and the snow was great, not icy as New Mexico snow can sometimes be.
Pros: EXCELLENT terrain, mountain,size, and snow for New Mexico Cons: Costly, small town,nightlife
Taos is a special place for skiiers. I've skiied here twice now, and after skiing for around fifteen years, it's my favorite. Don't be mistaken, this is not a resort for everyone(beginners take note!).Beginners are allowed, and ski lessons are...
Pros: NO SNOWBOARDING, Excellent terrain for advanced skiiers, no lift lines. Cons: There is no chairlift to the ridge.
The best thing about Taos is that you don't have to worry about some inconsiderate jerk on a snowboard plowing into you from behind. I don't mean this as an insult to snowboarders (I enjoy snowboarding myself), but I happen to think that skiing and...
Pros: steep slopes, great snow, versatility Cons: no walk in the park, beginners advised, no foot rest on chair lift
I just got back from Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico. I had an extraordinary time skiing and kicking back for vacation. It wasn't my first trip to the Carson National Forest area. I've taken a previous trek to the top of Wheeler pk.(highest pt. in NM),...
Pros: I left alive! Cons: Extremely difficult slopes
I admit that I am a ski wimp, a little bit afraid of moguls and always trying to study maps beforehand to make sure I don't end up on a black diamond slope. There is enough of the competitor in me to keep up with my ski-mates,though, even when they are...
Pros: great powder, plenty of room for groups of skiers, plenty of lifts Cons: no snowboarding at Taos Ski Valley
As a former Taoseno I have a great deal of pride invested in Taos Ski Valley. I to frequented the area just for the kicks but, while learning to ski I found it to be great for any beginner or anyone who prefers skis to boards. Don't get me wrong I...
Pros: Steeps, powder, cruiser runs Cons: Slow lifts, not much up here
Want to prove to your friends that your the best skier in the neighborhood? Come to Taos Ski Valley. Taos is home to some of the best skiers in the world. Soloman Skis main rider and ski god, Dean Cummings, grew up in Taos. Like Dean, I am also a local...
Pros: A great time in every aspect. Cons: Having to leave
Words can't describe this place. This is my favorite area of all times. The conditions are perfect the people are so nice and the terrain is unbelievable for the expert skier yet it still offers great beginner and intermediate. It has the one of the...
Taos 16x24 Pillow Southwest-inspired design warms the room in textured desert hues. A soft chenille adds depth and dimension to the densely woven fabric. Tailored with ...
