Set high in the rugged southern Rocky Mountains, Taos, New Mexico, is one of the few resorts left in North America that offers a Ski and Snowboard Better Week every week of the winter season. Taos Ski Valley thrives on their legendary snowsports week culture. At some times most of the skiers and boarders on the daunting mountain are part of the ski week program.
