Uncrowded and unspoiled, Taos remains a rare gem - one of the few family owned, no-snowboarding ski resorts in the country. The mountain offers the ultimate ski experience: extraordinary snow and terrain for all abilities. Off the mountain, the ambience of the European village rekindles your spirit. And a short distance away, the historic town of Taos beckons with authentic New Mexico charm. .
Scheduled Season: November 27, 2008 to April 5, 2009
