Our Location

We are located an easy drive from the Town of Taos, which sits at the base of the Taos mountain. 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 Taos Ski Valley 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. Or fly with Contour direct to Denver International.

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.

Taos Bazaar

✨⚱️🌅

Welcome to the high desert, where caravans gather from far and wide to park for one blazing moment under the stars. @beatsantique + @govindaadventures lit it up at the @taosmothership Saturday night as the sunset melted into fire dancers, balancing acts, and exotic delicacies only the mesa can summon — one of those nights only made in Taos.

Thanks for a great show!!

Flying Colors

🎨 🏁⛰️👨‍🎨

20 years make quite a quilt, and Taos artist Miller Herritage (@millerpaints1) stitches in pigment. The artist behind our 20th Anniversary bandana strokes bold lines in complementary colors, but take a closer look and soft details rise to the surface.

We met up yesterday at @caroldeehuneke’s art joint, more of a living room than a gallery where this Taos artist shows his work and paints at an easel in the back, framed by happy plants, a plush velour couch and coffee table with watercolors and an Etch-A-Sketch. It’s an open invitation to chill, kids can get creative while parents browse the walls and Miller doodles the energy and ideas as they come in the in-between.

His path to Taos wasn’t direct. Grew up skating and snowboarding in North Carolina, then years in ski towns. Injuries nudged him toward the brush when he wasn’t able to do much else.

“I never learned the ‘right’ way to skate or the right way to paint. I just stumbled into a different way of looking at the mountains and now I can’t see them any other way,” he says.

What began with lines and peeling away tape transforms landscapes into patchworks of texture and pattern, drawing you deeper into the layers, down to the grain of the wood boards he began getting from a friend because canvas wasn’t quite working. Now that friend sells wood to other artists in Santa Fe, a small ripple effect from one connection.

Somewhere along the way, the Sangre de Cristos changed for Miller. Spend a little time in Taos, and you’ll find they change in your eyes too… a special sunrise or a hike, even a trail run triumph. You’ll never look at them the same way again!

For this limited edition run: his mountains, in color and pattern, lays just right around the neck, collar or noggen. A milestone holding special meaning for each and every race participant, now with a collectible to commemorate it.

🏔️ Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
🎪 Catch Miller at his booth race weekend August 1-2, with more of his work for sale.

The art of caretaking

🏠🌲🌺⛰️

Some places are built. Others are lovingly cultivated. For decades, this is what @kandaharcondos has literally stood for. And if you’re wondering where all the hummingbirds are this season, they’re enjoying the red carpet @rbrentknox has rolled out… and you can, too!

This legendary TSV lodge turns 60 years old next year and Brent has made the most recent 15 some of its most festive and beautiful. This summer he added flower planters from @petreegardencenter to his long list of quality of life improvements to the property, not in the least his ski season seed feeders for overwintering birds and visiting rare rosy finches. Years ago, he also scattered wildflower seed across the front lawn. This weekend, guests arrived to a sea of new oxeye daisies dancing beneath the chairlift, waving them in. Around back of Building 1, crimson autumn sage (Salvia greggii), brilliant Indian paintbrush, and other mountain blooms have become a summertime oasis for hummingbirds, who flit between the flowers and more than a dozen feeders on the deck, right at home tucked in with the quiver🎿. Baby hummingbirds are learning the ropes and getting by with a little help from their big Texan friend, a tiny reminder that thoughtful stewardship creates a place where everyone can feel at home together.

All you have to do is settle into a chair with your morning coffee, breathe in the cool alpine air, and let the mountains quietly invite you to slow down and be one with the nature all around you!

Your summer stay includes:
🏡 Spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condominiums (sleep up to 6)
🔥 Cozy wood-burning fireplace
🍳 Fully equipped kitchen
☕ Private balcony surrounded by mountain views
📶 Complimentary Wi-Fi
🥾 Walk to hiking trails, restaurants, shops, and village events
🚠 A short walk up JR Ramming Nature Trail, and you’re at Resort Base

📍 Located in the heart of Taos Ski Valley, Kandahar has been welcoming mountain travelers for generations and is the perfect home base for every summer adventure.

Book now through 🔗 in Story at Kandahar-Taos.com 🌺🐛🐦

Retail Therapy

✨🧶🛍️

Punctuate @skitaos Community Weekend with some smiles in store. That’s a give-in @andeansoftware, where passion and purpose meet on the rack! Guaranteed you’ll leave with something great in your bag, a skip in your step and a story to share!

Right next to Lift 1 sits this TSV institution since 1984, run by Andrea Heckman, who’s spent nearly three decades trekking Peru and Bolivia (when she’s not teaching anthropology at UNM-Taos or guiding for Wilderness Travel), only topped by her tenure at Taos Ski Valley harkening back to old St. Bernard Hotel waitressing days! She has seen it all, and brought it back to our alpine village for the enjoying… and shopping!

Every piece is hand-picked by Andrea herself and priced to sell… especially the intricately woven baskets 🧺 in back - do not miss or they’ll be gone in a blink! So much lovely to peruse, from buttery-soft alpaca sweaters and ruanas, museum-quality Peruvian and Bolivian textiles, and Balinese ikats and hand-carved puppets, to Nepalese bags and Irish scarves. She brings it back from Bali, Peru, India, Turkey, Nepal — wherever the good stuff is.

🚨 This weekend only: 15% off dresses & shirts! Open daily 10am-5pm, Upper Resort Plaza/Base.

We love kicking off the weekend with a little local love, especially with pre-July 4th deals stacking up around the valley:

🦙 @leskimastery Ski Sales and 30% off Smartwool
🛒 Swing by @skitaos Confluence for the latest lighter season goods from skincare to housewears, and next door @cidsmountainmarket for munchies before you hit the road
🌿 @taoscanyoncannabis’s Treeline location awaits in Amezette open daily from 10am (sometimes closing earlier than its posted 6pm)

See 🔗 in Story for more of what’s currently open, as well as this weekend’s Dining, Activities and Events posters!

To every season, there is a shift

🌙🌌💐

Every day in the high desert and alpine extremes brings a new way to notice nature’s moves — sky to ground, day to night, big and small. With solstice landing this Sunday, here’s how we are soaking it all in this week:

🌌 Peak Milky Way season is nearing — a recent new moon means extra-dark skies right now, and we’re heading into the best viewing window of the year. By mid-to-late June, the galactic core rises right after sunset and stays up all night, visible early and for hours in a row. Step outside after dark and look up!

🪐 Last chance to catch the Planet Party tonight! We did last night. Low-light conditions mean Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are popping against a thin crescent Moon low in the western sky around 9pm. Just use your eyeballs! No telescope needed.

🐝 Make a beeline for Rio Fernando Park for pollinator central and a stroll! Bursting purple thistles at the Taos Land Trust are drawing in a surprising mix, feathered friends included. You won’t necessarily find the classic honeybee (which isn’t even native to North America and was brought over by European settlers) but lesser known species like this orange-tipped visitor work the same thistles. Unlike honeybees, this leafcutter bee (genus Megachile) doesn’t live in a hive — she nests alone in pre-existing holes and tunnels, lined with neatly cut leaf pieces. All you need to bring is your curiosity and the handy @inaturalistorg app to explore.

🌸 Wildflower mayhem is popping on Williams Lake Trail thanks to the recent precipitation! Classic blue columbines always steal the spotlight, but look closer and you’ll spot their quieter co-star: Polemonium pulcherrimum, or Jacob’s-ladder, tucked into the rock and talus along the trail. Subtler in color, just as striking up close.

☀️ The longest days of the year are almost here — Sunday’s solstice means max daylight, max time outside. (We’ve got a whole guide to making the most of it coming Friday 👀)

PUMPED UP 🚵

The sky just dumped, and we just dropped a full guide to mountain biking at TSV and across the Taos landscape — from your first lift-served lap to a full-day backcountry epic.

Taos Bike Park is about to be in full spin for downhill on June 27, but the trails are already riding dirty tacky perfect. Consider this your warm up!👇

🗺️ Out in the Wild
The Taos MTB landscape stretches well beyond the bike park. Lost Lake Trail is a challenging 13.7-mile backcountry loop with 2,300+ feet of gain and big alpine reward. Horsethief Canyon delivers technical rock gardens and fast descents through piñon and ponderosa. The Rift Valley & Slide Trail offers flowy, uncrowded singletrack with views 400 feet down to the Rio Pueblo and Rio Grande gorges. And South Boundary Trail — 22 miles point-to-point through Carson National Forest — is a true bucket list ride for the Southwest.

🚵 At the Bike Park
Lift 4 tops out at 11,400 feet with a trail network built for every level. Green Chile Flow Trail for first-timers and kids. Grip It & Rip It for intermediates ready to commit. Shrapnel for riders who know their limits and push them. Plus a free Skills Park behind The Bavarian for the young rippers, and Pioneer Flow Trails at the base to warm up or wind down. Rentals, gear, food, and cold drinks all on-site.

The mountain quenched its thirst yesterday, now it’s your turn. Hydrate, pace yourself, and ride the mud wave while it lasts. It’s all downhill from here!

Full trail guide, difficulty ratings, bike shop info, and trail maps at 🔗 in Story.
