They have it sorted!

🎿🍽️🍗🥔 🥗🌭🍟🍕🍔🍷🍺🧃

Daily 11am-3pm for food and all, and 8am-4pm for snacks and drinks for when you’re in a jam, @skitaos’s quick service restaurant Tenderfoot Katie’s comes with an even bigger smile this year thanks to a tidy facelift in design and menu offerings that make it run like clockwork! The proof is in the pudding — they were jam packed for opening weekend with even more smiles in the dining room than ever before!

This easy, cafeteria-style lunch option in the Resort Center at the base of Lift 1 makes everyone happy thanks to multiple types of cuisines, grab-and-go snacks, and a variety of beverages including beer and wine (and Kombucha!) — certainly something for everyone from families to couples and especially ski school kiddos.

After eyeballing the new menu including NY-style pizza-by-the-slice (and we really need to try the rotisserie chicken!), check out the neat sorting area — swap the convenience of table service and fuss of check splitting with your group with simply dropping your tray on the rack. If the clear, nice-looking signage doesn’t grab you, and a staff member will with helping hands!! 🙌🤝😀. It just makes for smart service — what we are all about when A1A priority is getting back out on the slopes.

Tenderfoot Katie’s is a cashless restaurant meaning all payments must be made via credit, debit, or prepaid card. Mobile wallets such as Apple pay, Google pay, and Samsung pay are also accepted.😉

What do you think of the new setup? Let us know in the comments👇as we make the rounds to taste what’s new in the Village, including a new menu at 192 at The Blake hotel and Edelweiss’s Blonde Bear Tavern.

Need help sorting this weekend’s busy schedule in Town and on-mountain? Check back here tomorrow for the reprise of our weekly “This Week in Taos & Taos Ski Valley” one-sheet with the full line up pulled straight from our up-to-the-minute Events Calendar, including the debut of the #MartiniTreeBar’s exciting upgrades Friday, 12.6 from 4-6pm with Live Music: DJ Evan Strange.

Lofty expectations make for suite dreams!

🧚🏻‍♀️🏨☃️

@alpinevillagesuites, it’s never one size fits all! This family-owned and pet-friendly boutique hotel’s unique variety of rooms guarantees you’ll be able to find the perfect option for your winter vacation.

The most budget-friendly under their roof is the slope side Small Studio Loft #18 (which can accommodate up to 4 guests!) with a Queen “pull-down” Murphy Bed in the living area and (2) Twin beds in a small loft with ladder access. The main living area is small, but it features DirectTV with DVD and a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, two-burner cook top, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, and cooking utensils. And that’s just inside! Access to a large deck with spectacular views of the ski slopes, a dining area and gas grill is included!

Have more guests in your party? The 2 bedroom suite sleeps 6… and there are other Cottam’s cabins that you can make your private home for the holidays so Santa can pay a proper chimney visit! 🪵🥛🍪🎅🔥🎄

Visit alpine-suites.com to peruse them all, and choose your next cozy winter hideaway!

So a Fried Chicken Sandwich and Muffaletta walk into a bar…

🥪🐔🥓🍖🍟

You have all your New Mexican food groups covered and of course a few more thanks to chef Marshall Thompson’s ever present global inspiration on the menu @hondo_restaurant at Snakedance Condos!

The Blue Corn Enchiladas, Hondo Reuben and NM Green Chile Lamb Stew are back of course, so we wanted to see what the warm toasty cold cut sando was all about when we saw the 🆕 burst beside it.

You may not recognize the Muffaletta by name, but its scrumptious layers are so delightfully familiar and make magic together— Ciabatta bread, olive-caper spread, green chile, pepperoncini, mortadella, cappicola, pepperoni, provolone, roasted red bell pepper and roasted garlic mayo. Fries come with! This tasty Italian number hails from New Orleans so of course it brings big flavor and pairs great with a beer from the tap. Extremely satisfying. Highly recommend!

In addition to summer’s Fried Chicken Sandwich, back with fries and served on a hoagie with wasabi kewpie slaw, house pickle, roasted garlic mayo and tomato, there’s new Birria Tacos, an Asian Seafood Soup (#jjamppong in Korean!) with Udon noodles, spicy broth, fresh herbs, ginger, garlic, mussels and shrimp, burger and veggie burger options, your tried and true go-to Chicken Wings in 1/2 and full dozen with choice of naked, buffalo, teriyaki or peanut sauce glaze… the Nachos are also back!

Pop in to say hi and stay a while. Entrées, salads, burgers, New Mex, full bar. Kids menu! Apres ski to come… Open now Thursday to Sunday, 11am till 6pm (don’t let hours in Google Maps deceive you!) at 110 Sutton Place — two entrances! If you’re coming off the slopes, enter just off Lift 1 through the doors inside the corral by the firepit at the Resort Upper Plaza… or swing around the corner to their main entrance with the gaslight and magnum in the showcase, across @skitaos Sports’s side entrance. Call 575-776-2277x230 for a human!

SURF’S UP FOR SNOWBOARDERS

🤿🏄‍♀️🏂❄️🌊🏜️

In the storefront formerly known as Cottam’s Ski Shop on Thunderbird Road (@alpinevillagesuites’s main entrance), a 🆕 #snowboard specialist steps in this week to make it easy and fun for people to enjoy the amazing snow and terrain of northern New Mexico sideways!

Carrying the torch of 50 years of John and Barb Cottam’s family business, Big K’s Surf Shop (575.737.3533), a part of Big Kahuna Ski & Snowboard Rentals anchored in the location of Cottam’s on Sutton Place, is a new full-service ski and snowboard outfitter in Taos Ski Valley.

Big K’s signage outside may not be up, but the glowing OPEN neon is all you need to look for! The capable team including @torre_austin @jude_johnson05 and store manager @_mace.a_ pictured here left to right can get you set up with rentals and guide you through the selection of the latest boards for sale, too — like Macey’s pick from @neversummerindustries, the top selling Lady FR featuring its patented triple camber for effortless float in powder and stability at speeds. It’s a looker, too! @jude_johnson05’s @libtechnologies 🍌 is def on trend 😝

In addition to hardware that includes super cool bindings from @nideckersnowboards featuring new “step-in” technology, Big K’s carries top boarding brands like @686snow outerwear and @dragonalliance eyewear, as well as a big selection of kid’s apparel makes it a bonus for families. Upstairs, they’re working on a new gift shop with toys for pups and other things you’ll want to take home to remember your trip or wrap up for presents this holiday season. For more info and to take advantage of 25% off rentals when booked in advance online visit bigkahunataos.com.

Pop down to their Sutton Place sister store for a more ski-focused spread, as well as the only spot you’ll find #snowshoe rentals in TSV!

Alpine Xtreme, the longtime favorite hunkered down in the slope side corner of the @edelweisslodgeandspa across the street, is also part of the newly united fleet. They rent sleds for the tubing hill, as well as skis. Open 8am-5pm.

$Happy #medicalmonday on @skitaos opening week! ⛑️💪🩼🚨🏂⛷️🚁 🖼️ Not just for when you’re in (or out of!) a bind, but glad you’re in their hands and smiles when it happens! We dropped into @mogulmedical today as the Winter 24-25 team was shifting into opening week gear with more orientation exercises at their now sophomore Firehouse Rd. HQ (click the geotag!) It’s still so shiny and new, but keeps their beginnings from Rhoda and Ernie Blake’s original home alive in spirit and on the walls matched with the latest facilities and equipment… and new offerings — prevention is as important as prescription under their roof, and it all begins at the top with co-owners Christa D. Castro and Linda Lynch! A well orchestrated performance of excellence in first response, first aid and advanced medical care, the proof is in the historical documents as much as it is in patient success stories (yours truly 📷: @jackieinthewild is counted among the many - #tibfibfracture 2022-23 season!) The gallery aesthetic is of course best enjoyed prophylactically, beautiful black & white photography by local artist @jbird413 presents what makes this urgent care tick — the collaboration with partners at #taosskipatrol. It’s a fitting inspiration for maintaining the level of care they’ve always been driven by. #UrgentCare, #Orthopedics, #SportsMedicine, #IVHydration (introduced last year with a menu of #micronutrients your body needs to perform too!), Medical Massage & Aesthetics. X-ray and #PT — no appt needed … when you need it most. #ski #snow #skiing #winter #snowboard #mountains #snowboarding #travel #powder #mountain #adventure #taos #skitaos #taosskivalley #skipatrol #winteriscoming #blackandwhitephotography #Taos #toasartist #wintersports #mogulmedical$
