Had a great time at TSV. Yes, it was hard packed conditions, no, many lifts aren’t open—but the resort cannot help that. In fact, they’ve made enough snow to have most of the easy and intermediate runs open. What made this a 5-Star review for me and how I decided that we’ll definitely be back, was the friendliness of the people working all areas of the resort and the children’s center, in particular. We had our preschooler in ski school and son in baby care for 2.5 days. 3.5 yr old daughter loved “school” for the most part and they communicated with us when she wasn’t having a great time or when she tired out before the end of the day (understandable). Our baby had a tough time on his first day and we had to pick him up at the half day mark as he’d been crying a lot due to separation anxiety (doesn’t go to day care regularly). They communicated with us so well and have a beautiful care and school facility with stuff for the kids to do all over! Our daughter was on the “big” hill with the “magic carpet” conveyer belt lift by her last session and the whole experience made for something that she, a first time skier, is excited to repeat and great memories!

i am a long time skier of the valley for the past 15 years but iv become really disappointed in the younger worker's they have hired. most of the staff i encountered today smelled really strong of either marijuana or alcohol. i understand its a fun "lively" atmosphere but its extremely unprofessional to have staff wreaking like alcohol underneath their gum. i was scared to ski on the ski provided to me by a staff member from taos pueblo because i could smell the alcohol on him as he helped me adjust my stuff. maybe they should start to pay attention to their staff and how they "party" under the bosses noses and worry about the negligence they face to let staff work under those conditions
