Our family of six (kids ages 6-11) has thoroughly enjoyed our spring break ski trips to Taos in 2008 and 2009. My husband & I had skiied a few times before kids, and we chose Taos for our first two family ski trips because of the excellent reputation of the ski school, verified by our neighbors who also have four... more

I loved Taos Ski Valley; however, my wife did not care as much for it, but I can understand why considering this is only her second time to go sking. This is not a mountain for beginners. Knowing the reputation for TSV I enroled my wife in ski school (greenbird), which she enjoyed and found to be very helpful. But... more

Great ski resort.........for intermediate and advanced. The ski school is rated highly and probably warrants that accolade although they need to improve check-in - it's like a cattle market with no room to manouver. My 6 year old had a ball and my 4 year old did well but was probably a little young. The beginners area is ok, but... more

I must admit that I was very pleasantly surprized with Taos as a ski destination! The resort provides very good skiing that is challenging and varied. In general I was quite pleased with the vacation altough the service provided by at the various places I visited (hotel, restaurant, etc.) could use some improvement. more

I never think it is appropriate in these Trip Advisor reviews to try to contradict the experience of a reviewer. What the reviewers say they experienced, they undoubtedly experienced, and that is the way they saw it. My experiences at TSV, however, have been very different and I wanted to report on those. First, although certainly not required, the very... more

TSV is a strange enigma of a ski resort- located 2+ hours north of albuquerque, it comes with a reputation for great expert ski-ing and as a user friendly mountain. The reality is that 1/3 of the mountain is totally inaccessible...unless you're willing to embrace a major hike to all the good terrain. Not only that, but this hikeable terrain... more

While it has been mentioned that Taos Ski Valley is more suitable for experienced skiiers, I have to point out that it also provides an amazing experience for beginners. The last time I was on skis was as a teenager, over 17 years ago, and I think I spent more time flirting with boys in the lodge than I spent... more

Been skiing here for 5 years. Even on what should be "busy" days, there are not long lift lines. Well groomed. Probably not the best mountain for first timers, just drive the 45 minutes around thw miuntain to red river for them. Cottams is very good for skis, pay extra $4 and get the demo package. more

Most people complained that Taos Ski Valley does not have slops for beginners . But if you are not at the beginners level, than that is actually an advantage ( When I started teaching my 1 1/2 year old to ski I never worried that someone will hit us or worse ) . More, there are NO snowboarders--what a blessing--... more
