Video (4min 16sec): Taos Snowboard Opening 3/19/2008. My best friend Sean and I took the day off and drove up to Taos from Albuquerque on THE opening day for snowboarding.
Taos Ski Valley has some of the best terrain in New Mexico..., and perhaps North America. 4200+ people there and we rode up to the lifts most of the day! They say the lot, which holds 4800ish, fills up before the mountain. Taos is a very nice mountain and we will be going back next season! It was awesome to be a part of this epic event!
Taos Ski Valley is a village and alpine ski resort in Taos County, New Mexico, United States. Until March 19, 2008, it was one of the few resorts to prohibit snowboarding; officials announced the change several months in advance. The climate, culture, and geography resemble a Swiss village, including an elected city council. The ski area, Taos Ski Valley, Inc., was founded by Rhoda and Ernie Blake, and is still managed by the Blake family. It has a one to one ratio of expert to beginner/intermediate terrain, and has the highest rated ski school in North America.
