Taos Ski Valley

Taos Ski Valley sits beside the Rio Hondo in New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where steep, forested slopes rise toward Kachina Peak. The community stands beside Carson National Forest in a high mountain valley north of Taos. Its ski area was founded in 1955 by Ernie Blake and grew around a compact, pedestrian-focused base. Winter draws skiers to the high terrain, while snow-free months bring hikers and mountain bikers to surrounding forest trails and roads. The nearby Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provides an important connection to the region’s living Pueblo cultural heritage.
