Item Description

Think there's no good skiing in New Mexico? THINK AGAIN!!! The winner of this package will receive 2 - 1 Day lift tickets for the 2018-2019 ski and snowboard winter season.

Some ski resorts are manufactured for the masses. This is not one of them. Taos Ski Valley is a rugged, authentic mountain, pioneered by people who put skiing first and all else second. Taos Ski Valley is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the winter weather in northern New Mexico and boasts some of the areas best skiing and ski conditions.

Kachina Peak stands high above the Sangre de Cristo mountain range at 12,481 feet. From here, skiers and boarders survey some of the finest terrain in North America - bone dry powder shots, steep chutes, big bumps, cornices, and glades- it is all here. If heart-stopping terrain is not your thing, you will find miles of well-manicured slopes and gradual groomers to carve up all season long. This mecca of snow sports shows every level of skier and boarder a great time.

Thanks to Mother Nature’s genius and some coveted stashes, there’s always more to explore than your legs will allow.

When you visit, be sure to book a stay at the Blake! The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is at the heart of the resort’s renaissance connecting the iconic mountain with a vibrant cultural journey. The Blake embodies a soulful tapestry that is uniquely Northern New Mexican. Woven into The Blake experience are the wild elements of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a confluence of cultures a thousand years in the making and an independent streak that belies Taos’s true sense. From big-mountain adventure steps from the door, to tiny rituals that sear the story of our alpine retreat in the hearts and minds of the guests we welcome year-round, this is more than a place to stay.
