A magical place defined by deep traditions, desert-dry powder, awe-inspiring terrain and alpine vistas, Taos Ski Valley was created by famed ski pioneer Ernie Blake. He built his dream on a mountain with terrain varied enough to challenge his skiing friends forever. Today Taos Ski Valley still brims with ski enthusiasts drawn by that same passion- they love to ski! Combine an altitude of 8,000-plus feet, an arid climate and New Mexico sunshine, and you have champagne powder! With four ski resorts to explore- Angel Fire, Red River, Sipapu and Taos- there's ample terrain for beginner and expert. **Please remember that Taos is "100% Pure Skiing- No Snowboarding"**
