Old School, New Season.

🎿❄️📰

BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 A familiar name is making a welcome return to Taos Ski Valley. Fifty years after John and Barbara Cottam opened their first ski rental shop in Taos, the Cottam family is back in the business they built… and they haven’t lost their edge!

What started in 1976 as a small rental operation on a used car lot, where a day’s ski rental cost just $7, grew into one of northern New Mexico’s most recognizable names in skiing. After selling the business in 2018, the family is back at the helm for its milestone 50th season.

Before the Resort’s Opening Day on Thanksgiving, Cottam’s Ski Shop will re-open Wednesday, November 25 at their longtime village location, 101 Sutton Place. You’ll find ski and snowboard rentals, snowshoe rentals, professional tuning and repairs, winter apparel and accessories, PLUS seasonal ski lockers are also available next door at @alpinevillagesuites.

“New look. Same family!” says John Brooke Cottam. “50 seasons after opening our first shop, we’re back with easier reservations and the same passion and personal service that built the Cottam name.”

It’s all in the new November issue of THE HIGHLINE, our Taos Ski Valley newsletter, OUT NOW! 🗞️

ISSUE AT A GLANCE:
🚌 THE WAY HERE: @ridethebluebus and expanded winter air service from @flyjsx @iflycontour

🚌⚡BIG NEWS: @RIDETHEBLUEBUS IS GOING YEAR-ROUND TO TAOS SKI VALLEY!

💙♻️✅

More Bluebird Days on the mountain straight ahead! Starting Saturday, November 7, the 341 TSV Green route will run 365 days a year, connecting Taos, Arroyo Seco and the Village of Taos Ski Valley, including holidays. What was once seasonal service is becoming a year-round connection for the people who live, work and play here.

Early adopters? You bet. As North Central Regional Transit rolls out a growing fleet of hybrid-electric and fully electric buses, the future of getting to the mountains is looking more bluebird than ever. More mountain access. More connections, quietly. More ways to efficiently get to the Valley with less exhaust, every season of the year. 🍁

Why this matters:
💙 More transportation options for local workers and businesses
🏔️ Easier access to Taos Ski Valley beyond ski season
🚌 Reliable connections between our communities throughout the year
⚡ A new generation of public transportation taking the road to the mountains

Before you ride, check the updated route schedule and stop information at RideTheBlueBus.com. Some stops are changing to accommodate the new, 35-foot buses.

Here’s to better connections, year-round round trip mountain access and a big step forward for transportation in Northern New Mexico. See you on the Blue Bus! 💙

Tuesdays are for tacos. The rest of the week has plans, too.

🌮🍻🍸

Hot spot on the grill! At Millicent’s Bar & Lounge inside @hoteldonfernando, there are a few friendly faces reason enough to pull up a chair, order something delicious, and make a night of it. From Taos-style comfort food to cocktails featuring New Mexico’s own @rollingstilltaos spirits, come hungry and stay awhile.

Here’s your weekly lineup:

🍹 Margarita Mondays | 4:30–9 PM
Kick off the week with $5 margaritas in Strawberry, Mango, or Chile-Tamarind.

🌮 Taco Tuesdays | 4:30–9 PM
Your Tuesday plans, sorted. $3 tacos with your choice of pork, beef, or chicken.

🍗 Wing Wednesdays | 4:30–9 PM
Midweek cravings call for $6 wings in BBQ, Buffalo, or plain.

🥃 Thirsty Thursdays | 4:30–9 PM
Happy hour all evening, with $2 off beer bottles and cans, draft beer, wine by the glass, and well cocktails.

And there’s more on the table. Think crispy jalapeño poppers, elote with lime butter and cotija, a Taos taco on fry bread, enchiladas smothered in your choice of red or green chile, and sirloins coming off Chef James’s grill for a catered gathering.

Behind the bar, Tara’s ready to stir and Brian channels his inner “Dude”. The Pecan White Russian with pecan-infused vodka, Kahlúa, and cream. A reason to stay for one more and some southwestern hospitality from folks who live here and work hard to make you feel at home.

Planning a holiday party? Let us help you bring everyone together over good food, drinks, and a little Taos charm. 🎉

📍 Millicent’s Bar & Lounge at Hotel Don Fernando
1005 Paseo del Pueblo Sur, Taos
Daily, 4:30–9 PM | Happy Hour, 4:30–6:30 PM

Locals, hotel guests, and hungry travelers are all welcome. Double dip… we won’t tell!!

Rain Check? Full Moon Had Other Plans!

🌕🌨️🏔️

When it rains, it pours… moonlight! On Sunday night, October’s Hunter’s Moon rose over Taos just as the sun set and a squall line moved north through the valley. By early morning, the clouds had cleared revealing a frosted Vallecitos as the moon set over Two Peaks!

We’ll take 5” on the @skitaos Poco snow stick, a little high-desert drama to start the week and more snow on the way! ❄️

RIDING THAT SUNDAY HIGH

🍁🦊🦄🚵

While everyone sneaks out for a Monday recovery ride through the golden foothills, we’re still basking in the glow of an incredible day @fieldinstituteoftaos Ride the Rift!

The Rio Grande Gorge delivered the natural wow factor, with miles of sweet singletrack, big rim-top views, and a whole lot of community spirit. Riders could choose their own adventure, from beginner-friendly loops to the 12+ mile course, making it a day for all ages and abilities with 19 kids ages 2–9 making for one very magical memorable Unicorn Fun Race!

Push bikes, pedal bikes, little legs, big smiles. This is what getting kids outside and building a lifelong love of riding looks like.

Huge thanks to the real unicorn Susie Fiore, Founder and @fitaos__bikes Program Director, and the volunteers, families, and local cycling community who made it all happen. Because it’s more than a day on the trails. It helps support scholarships, bikes, coaching, and opportunities for Taos’s middle school and high school mountain bike teams!!

A special shout-out to the 2026 sponsors and supporters who helped make this 🆓 community event possible: @taoscow, @taoscommunityfoundation, @skitaos, @cidsfoodmarket, @taosmtb, @fitaos__bikes, TaosNet, Taos Sports Alliance, Syd and Macky, Humble Brands, Annex Life Coaching, Rift Cycles, Goathead Bicycle Repair, Taos Bakes, and the Michael “Red” Wagener Memorial Fund.

Thanks for showing up, riding together, and making this such a good day to be part of the Taos cycling community. Recap video coming next 📺!

Now go catch that fall color before it drops! See you on the trails! 🍂

ALL THE COLORS & CREATURES OF FALL 🍂🐾

A moon setting over the ridge. A pika in the talus. A Canada Jay framed by autumn gold. Williams Lake reflecting the mountains beneath New Mexico’s highest summit. Fall in Taos Ski Valley is a field guide, from big views to tiny details.

🏔️ WHEELER PEAK
At 13,161 feet, Wheeler Peak is New Mexico’s highest summit. Williams Lake Trail winds through spruce-fir forest into a glacial basin.

🥾 PICK YOUR ADVENTURE
• Williams Lake: about 4.2 miles round trip, with 900 feet of gain.
• Wheeler Peak summit: about 8.5 miles round trip and nearly 3,000 feet of gain via Williams Lake, with exposed terrain above treeline.
• Bull of the Woods: a longer, rugged approach via Trail #90, with high ridgelines for experienced hikers.

🍂 WHEN TO GO
Higher-elevation aspens often turn first. Late September to early October is typically prime color. By mid-October, peak color may have passed, but pockets of gold, orange leaves underfoot, and dark evergreens still make a beautiful contrast. Snow, ice, and strong winds can arrive quickly near the summit.

🐾 LOOK FOR THE LOCALS
• Canada Jay: Watch the conifers for this curious mountain bird.
• American pika: Scan the talus for a small mammal darting between rocks. Pikas shelter in crevices and gather plants for winter.

Bring binoculars, keep your distance, and let wildlife set the pace.

🪨 LOOK CLOSER
Ancient Precambrian rocks tell a much older story.
• Granite: Look for interlocking grains and contrasting crystals.
• Pink veins: They may be rich in quartz and feldspar; close inspection is needed to identify the minerals.
• Lichen: Bright green and rich orange patches are partnerships between fungi and photosynthetic organisms, slowly colonizing stone.

🌙 LOOK UP, TOO
Sometimes the best moment isn’t the summit: it’s the moon slipping behind a ridge, light over Williams Lake, or a flash of color on a rock.

BEFORE YOU GO: Acclimate, choose a suitable route, check trail conditions and forecasts, pack water and warm layers. Above treeline, turn around if weather deteriorates. Stay on trail and leave nature undisturbed.

Re-Earthing Futures 🌱

Saturday at Rio Fernando Park, land-based knowledge came to life through hands-on learning and generations working side by side. 🤲

@tsosie.kevin (Diné/Navajo), Director of Sheep-to-Loom at @futuros.ancestral, made adobe bricks alongside young builders, while Founder Layne Jackson Hubbard shared weaving and natural dyeing with @vista_grande_hs students. Henrietta Gomez baked in the horno as Flowers tended the juniper fire, and Kerry of Hyer Wools artfully sheared Sky the friendliest sheep in the Churro flock, according to Owner Alice of @lapaysannefarms. 🧶🐑

We also celebrated the opening of the KINnection Children’s Garden with Associate Director Nora Corbett of @taoslandtrust introducing artist and @neaarts fellow @carolpadbergstudio.

On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the people who keep these traditions alive and the knowledge they carry forward. With fall bringing the harvest, Saturday gave us a glimpse of what we can nurture for the future. 🌾

Presented by @harwoodmuseum and @taoslandtrust, with generous support from @usbank @taoscenterforthearts @taoscommunityfoundation @skitaos and many more. The only thing more rico than the Frito Pie was @chrisjarellano @laila_arellano bros. quick picking heard with the finest @tonefreak66 fidelity!

Last week’s rains have sprouted the valley floor. As the remaining gold fills in, this year’s color is hitting a little different, admired from a new scenic overlook yesterday. We think @mountainskillsguides may know the spot 😏
