Taos combines the lore of the European Alps with the charm and beauty of the Southwest, creating a world class ski/ride experience. World renowned terrain, amazing food, friendly people, beautiful weather, breathtaking scenery and who could forget some of the lightest powder you will ever experience has kept guests coming back for over 50 years. Taos is a family owned and operated mountain that offers a little something for everyone with 1,200 acres of skiable terrain for all ability levels; smaller crowds and nonexistent lift lines make it easy to explore the entire mountain at any pace. In 2008 Outside Magazine ranked Taos the 3rd best mountain in terms of terrain and one of the top 15 resorts in North America. Taos also has long boasted one of the best ski/ride schools in North America featuring their world famous $90 ski/ride weeks throughout January!
