The ski area has a wide array of condo's to stay in. There is also numerous little places to eat or have a drink. Sometimes you feel like you are in some mountain village in Austria. The valley was started by a man from Austria and you feel it everywhere from the St. Bernard Inn to the Bavarian restaurant. The skiing is outstanding! Development of the ski area is ongoing with lots of snow making if needed. We ski'd in January and the snow was beautiful. Adventure at every turn from beginner to expert!

I skied for two days in TSV that last week of January 2019. There were very few people there. On the one hand, there were zero lift lines. Over two days, I shared a lift with another person one time. You can imagine what the runs were like. That's the plus. The other side is we really enjoy the total ski resort experience. We love to Apre Ski. But, with so few people around, the bars were basically empty and Rhoda's closed early. They "Last Called" us at about 5:45 and kicked us out at 6:00. Subsequently, they weren't even open for dinner any night we were there. Additionally, the town of Taos is about 15 miles away and for us, that was just too far down and back for dinner. One final note; many others have stated this, but I want to confirm it. Taos is NOT for beginners. They have green runs, but they are not green. If you aren't a blue skier, please don't even think about Taos. You won't be comfortable here.

We had a great weekend at Taos. Our first time to the mountain and it didn't disappoint. Be prepared for challenging runs. Some of the blue runs would be considered blacks at other places but there was always an easy way down if we wanted it. Lift lines went really fast on a crowded Saturday, which was a pleasant surprise. We will definitely be coming back!
