Discover the Winter Wonderland Taos Ski Valley & The Blake.

Nestled among the pristine peaks of Northern New Mexico, Taos Ski Valley is one of North America’s premier ski and snowboard destinations, with more than 305 inches of average annual snowfall and more than 110 trails. Taos Ski Valley has an unmistakable soul and mystique, a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, spectacular scenery and amazing terrain for every ability level – truly making the resort a world of its own.

Taos Ski Valley has a rich history. A unique texture of European, Hispanic, and Native North American cultures meet in Taos. The ski valley was founded in 1954 by Ernie and Rhoda Blake. From a camper in the base area where they lived, the Blakes began to build what is now a world-class ski resort. The Blake family infused Taos Ski Valley with an approachability, sincerity, and focus on a true high alpine lifestyle, which visitors have recognized and loved for decades.

Every season you can count on ample amounts of powder on the mountain's bowls.

The renowned Ernie Blake Snowsports School has a 60-year reputation as one of the best places to have fun while improving your skills. It is often said that “you don’t have to be an expert to ski Taos, but there’s no better place to become one!” And while there’s steep and deep terrain everywhere, 49% of the resort is rated beginner or intermediate from the top to bottom – providing plenty of trails for all skill levels.

And things continue to get even better! Two years ago, renovations and improvements began with the launch of the Kachina Peak Chair Lift, and continued last season with a new drop-off area that features views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains and a walkway with stores and services that line the path to the base area and lifts. The base area renovation will continue for the next several years and will include a variety of new retail areas, dining, and a plaza.

The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is the long-awaited centerpiece of the Taos Ski Valley base area redevelopment. Opened in February 2017, the premier slope slide location offers incredible access to all the Ski Valley has to offer and brings a new level of sophistication to the area.

Plenty of bowls, tree and expert skiing to enjoy.

The resort also recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation of its Children’s Center, which includes the installation of a new beginner’s lift, development of state-of-the-art children’s beginner terrain, and installation of a gondola connecting the Children’s Center to the resort plaza.

And now direct flights from DallasFort Worth are available to make the trip even smoother.

“We’re supportive of the Town’s vision for the airport as a regional economic driver and premier tourist destination,” said David Norden, CEO of Taos Ski Valley, Inc. “Taos Air will now offer the closest, fastest, and earliest route to the Rockies from Texas, a thrilling development for skiers, snowboarders, and outdoor enthusiasts from that region.”

There is so much to discover in Taos, including the Town of Taos, which is only about a 30-minute drive from the resort.
