The Magic and Charm of Taos Skiing
Although the sleepy little captivating town of Taos New Mexico situated in the southwestern US isn’t exactly a “Rome” or a “Paris” for the average garden-variety vacationer, for ski enthusiasts around the world it surely is.
Ask any ski buff to spell out the seven wonders of the ski world and you will notice that Taos not only makes the list hands down but also figures on it prominently. Let us find out why. What is it about Taos skiing that charms folks and inspires them to return year after year with a religious fervor so characteristic of the town of taos?
Taos Skiing Discovered
The buck starts and stops for avid skiers from all continents at the Taos Ski Valley, a privately owned and exceptionally well-managed ski resort nestled gently in the natural folds of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and a stone’s throw from the town of Taos. 
Imagine for a moment that you are a western classical musician and you happened to walk into a village that had nothing but quaint little shops selling classical music DVDs, books on classical music, music instruments and classical music memorabilia.
That is precisely the “aha moment” a skier experiences when he or she steps into this incredible and enchanting Taos skiing resort. In all four directions, you will find opportunities for snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, majestic ski runs and even a world famous ski school where everyone from the ski newbie to the most advanced ski veteran can pick up a pointer or two about skiing in general and Taos skiing in particular.
To top it off, there are a number of special events that are celebrated with much festivity in the Taos Ski Village each year that are guaranteed to double the charm of a Taos skiing vacation for you. They include the Annual Taos Arts and Craft Festival, Taos Winter Wine Festival, The Salomon Extreme Freeride Championship and the highly popular Taos Winter Wine Festival.
