Curator’s statement
Go from the desert to fresh powder in just 30 minutes! While relatively uncrowded, this mountain has over 3,000 feet of vertical and abundantly expert terrain. The base lodge has a quaint but vibrant scene with local shops, tasty bites and a chic on-mountain hotel. Not to mention, Taos is the first certified B-Corp ski resort in the world. Their focus on sustainability and supporting the local community creates a ski trip unlike any other.
