Over 60 years ago, Swiss ski pioneer Ernie Blake spotted this awe-inspiring mountain’s towering vertical and snowy aspect from his Cessna 170. From that day forward, the Blake family dedicated their lives to building a destination, their way. Taos Ski Valley is located in the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains at the start of the Rocky Mountains. Originally an old west mining town established in the 1800’s, today is a world-class ski resort that was purchased by a billionaire in 2013 who has since revitalized both the Mountain and Village including the construction of The Blake Hotel in 2017. “Old World ambiance seasoned with Native American and Spanish spice gives our valley its unique flavor. “We resemble a European ski village but our core is pure New Mexican—all smiles and sunshine.” This is a unique destination that many of your ski friends have yet to experience but a place that every skier should have on their list!
