Taos Ski Valley Will Open to Snowboarding! is a video (2min 9sec) about the long awaited announcement that Taos Ski Valley will open for snowboarding, for the first time in its over 50 year history, as of March 19th, 2008. This video features music by Michael Hearne, and interviews with Jean Mayer - Hotel St. Bernard, and Andriana Blake of Taos Ski valley.
"On March 19th the venerable Taos Ski Valley opens to snowboarding for the very first time. We wondered what this will mean to a place that many have come to know as a skiers sanctuary."
Jean Mayer: "It's really love for the winter sports that we want to encourage. That's why for example now there was a little bit of a fuss about Taos Ski Valley being involved with snowboarding. Most of our guests, three generations, four generations, and they tell me, 'Jean, we'd loved to keep coming but our children, our kids, they snowboard so we can't, we have to go elsewhere now. And when you hear that often and often enough, well maybe now it's time.
