Wows and Woes
The Native Indian culture has been incorporated into the design of the lodgings in Taos Valley, making for a very unique environment.
Taos Ski Valley's lodging is not as well known as other ski valleys and therefore has fewer restaurants and nightly entertainment.
Insider Tips
The Abominable Snowmountain offers affordable rates, while Don Fernando de Taos adds an element of luxury.
Bottom Line
Taos Ski Valley and its lodgings are a very organic and spiritual area to ski, and are a part of a world from another time.
