16Taos, New Mexico
Taos is the best place in the US for a real “old-school” ski adventure. Located a few hours out of Santa Fe, the resort here offers some of the best skiing terrains in the country and an effective blend of modern features with elements of decades past. The mountain may be a bit intimidating but after all, it is for more experienced skiers.
The mountain is challenging but it is not unbeatable. If you’re a novice, don’t avoid Taos. Learn from veteran visitors at the base of the mountain. Soon you will know exactly where all the great places for beginner skiers are, and really be enjoying yourself.
