Our Location

We are located an easy drive from the Town of Taos, which sits at the base of the mountains. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Taos Plaza to the Ski Valley, passing through historic villages and mountain canyons. The area’s early ski pioneers, residents, and employees blended their love of skiing with the local Native American and Spanish cultures to craft a mountain retreat out of an old mining town. Over the years, Taos has become world-renowned for steep runs of powdery, dry snow in the winter and stunning forest surroundings in the spring and summer.

With unprecedented access courtesy of JSX, visitors from Texas and California can fly directly to the Taos airport, instead of flying into Santa Fe or Albuquerque.

Follow along as we head up NM-150 from the base of the mountains just north of Taos up to the Village of Taos Ski Valley.

Go for the gold 💛🥇🏆👑🌟🍁🏵️🍂🚵‍♀️ Made your annual aspen pilgrimage yet? South Boundary Trail #164 is one of our favorite seasonal rites of passage — a golden corridor through shimmering groves dropping gold all around, conifers catching their fall, and alpine ridges made for single track glory. Riders call it “a classic little bit of everything,” and it’s consistently top-ranked in New Mexico (via @mtb_project!) It’s def a banger in the best and worst of ways — but you’ve got choices! 🤠 FR-76 Drop: Ride the full ~20-mile IMBA Epic with ~4,500 ft of descent.
😵‍💫 Garcia Park Drop: Skip ~7 miles, keep the scenic flow, and still score the descent. Forest Road 437 is notoriously rough but totally passable yesterday with slow vigilance on on the few rutted areas! FWD/AWD recommended.
🚙 DIY Shuttle: Run two vehicles (El Nogal + FR-76 or Garcia Park) or mix in two-tracks for a self-served loop.
🦵Out and back from Garcia will get the legs grinding — with all the leaf littler finding your way back can get spicy with Forest road intersections so stay landmark vigilant — GPS or map apps help! 🛠️ Trail Truths & Must-Knows:
• No e-bikes — Carson NF prohibits them on non-motorized trails.
• No water on route — pack plenty.
• Snow-bound in winter; usually cleared by mid-June.
• The final El Nogal section is steep, loose, and technical — respect it.
• Average ride time from FR-76: 3–5 hrs depending on pace and stops. Bring some grit and follow the yellow brick road - we got a little afternoon shower yesterday so it’s probably riding nice and grippy this weekend. Check out some sections from our 2hr out and back from Garcia yesterday in Story! 💪👆 #TaosMTB #SouthBoundaryTrail #AspenSeason #RideCarsonNF #FallRide #BikeTaos #MTBProject #TrailBeta #RiteOfPassage #RideNM #IMBAEpic #TaosSkiValley #AspenMagic #HeroDirt #VisitTaos #FollowtheYellowBrickRoad #Taos #MTB #FallColors #FallTrails #FallRides #RidingDirty

All the @taos mountain colors on display in the hills this morning except white! 🍁⛰️🚌 Make a 🐝 line to Treeline! Above, ours is in full fall color and @taoscanyoncannabis’s newest location is open for the fall season! Full spectrum aspens from citron to golden and rich red-orange are threading through the Sangre de Cristos, lighting up the valley and the road to this high elevation #drivethru while #Taos below awaits the flurries fly! Stop in on a leaf-peeping drive as the highest dispensary in New Mexico perched right here in #TaosSkiValley and catch the last weeks of the leaves before ski season arrives. Just a month and a few short weeks until the shop’s first full winter open begins up here — come see what the view looks like from the top. ☃️🌄 #TreeLineCannabis #TaosSkiValley #FallAtAltitude #NFSOT #HighestDispensary #GoldenAspens #SangredeCristoMountains #VisitTaos #NewMexicoTrue #HighElevationLife #MountainMedicine #CannaCommunity #FallVibes #StayElevated #AboveTheTreeLine

Monster Mash-Up! 👻🦉🐍🕷️🐏🖤 🎥: @jackieinthewild x @vivanortelife The onset of October in Northern New Mexico means special seasonal sightings that might feel spooky at first glance… but look a little closer, and you’ll see nature’s timing and beauty is anything but monstrous! 🌌 Creatures of the night: The tiny Northern Saw-whet Owl is on the move, hunting quietly under autumn stars. Keep an ear out for its high-pitched toots echoing through the forest. We spotted this sweetheart thanks to the watchful and gently careful eye of @raymondsadventures in the ponderosa/juniper/piñon forest of the northern #JemezMountains — but they can be heard and if you’re lucky spotted in the forest of the @taos foothills for a brief window in fall! 🦹🏻 Slither season: Young Gopher Snakes are still out and about soaking up warmth. Harmless but convincing with their rattlesnake mimicry—don’t be fooled, they’re rodent control specialists, not villains 💔 Eight-legged travelers: Will swerve for love! Yep, the male #tarantula is making his fall trek across Hwy 64 near #TresPiedras in search of a mate. A slow-motion love story on many little legs—watch your wheels and honk for the creepy little buggers! 📯 High-country herds: Bighorn Sheep ewes and their playful lambs are descending into lower elevations. Fall is a critical time for the Littles, so give them space and let them cross safely. 🍂 Together, they remind us that autumn is a season of transition—for wildlife as much as for us. They may look eerie in the headlights or under a harvest moon, but these beings are our brilliantly costumed neighbors, perfectly tuned to the rhythms of the season!! 🚦 This fall, take it slow on the roads, watch for movement at night, and celebrate the wonder not the fright of the wild ones among us! #WildlifeWednesday #MonsterMashUp #NewMexicoTrue #TaosWildlife #SawWhetOwl #GopherSnake #Tarantula #BighornSheep #FallWildlife #RespectWildlife #NotSoScary #WheretheWildThingsAre #Taos #SonyWildlife #Owls #BirdPhotography #BirdVideo #SonyA1 #Sony400800mm #SonyAlpha

No sour grapes! 🍇😎💚 Key takeaway from a #WineWednesday jaunt at @vivacwinery🍷You may not see things as clearly in their 2024 vintage… but we do!! Their new glass bottling goes green by design — tinted glass may shade the beauteous blush of rosé and sparkle of Grüner, but it protects wine’s character over time allowing less light in than the clear alternative. ☀️ Why Light Matters for Wine: Wine is surprisingly sensitive to light. UV rays and bright indoor light can trigger chemical reactions in the bottle, leading to loss of aroma and flavor, oxidization and even color changes – white wines can darken, rosés can lose their blush, and red wines may appear dull! 🔐 Storage tips to keep every sip perfect:
Dark is best – store wine in a dark cupboard, cellar, or cabinet.
Cool and steady – avoid heat or frequent temperature swings. Ideal: 50–60°F (10–15°C).
Bottle position – store on its side if it has a cork to keep it moist. Screw tops don’t need this. In summary… a cooler works perfect, too! 🤣🧊 📍 Vivác Winery / Dixon Tasting Room
🕰️ Open Mon–Sun 11am–7pm (Sat until 8pm for Happy Hour Season)
🎶 Last September event — Box Canyon Barbies, live this Saturday the 27th from 5–7pm! #NoSourGrapes #VivacWinery #WineWednesday #GreenGlass #WinePreservation #NMTrue #TaosWine #DixonNM #LiveMusicNM #VivacVino #NewMexicoWine #DrinkLocal #WineLife #SipInStyle #WineLovers #MountainWine #PreserveThePour
