IN THE SHADOWS OF COLORADO'S ROCKIES, Taos has a mainstream perception problem. Change was coming.Ībove: Taos Ski Valley has options for every skier and snowboarder, like the harrowing steeps of Kachina Peak (in the background) or low-angle groomers. A couple of months after my visit, the ski area hired David Norden as its new CEO and tasked him with transforming the business. That time was a beginning-for me, but also for Taos Ski Valley. On the way back to Santa Fe, we stopped by the business Dan had founded, Taos Mesa Brewery, where we had a beer as he gave us a tour of his eclectic restaurant near the Río Grande Gorge. Afterwards, the woman and I basked on the deck of the Bavarian while drinking steins of pilsners and eating soft, salty pretzels. Dan and I realized we had a mutual friend, and he convinced us to take one more lap down West Basin with him. On our last lift ride, we met a bearded tele-skier named Dan. The view from Highline Ridge showcased the breadth of the mountain range. The lifties, while listening to reggae, gave us knowing nods as we loaded onto the chairlift. It felt as if we had the place to ourselves. We chased each other down the many chutes in this area throughout the afternoon. It hadn’t snowed in a while, but the north-facing slope held cold, chalky snow that I could dig my edges into. Once at Taos, I followed my new friend up the bootpack to West Basin, a ridgeline where the skiing is technical-narrow, steep, and rocky. We didn’t finish it, so I wrapped the leftovers in foil and stuffed the warm delicacy in my jacket pocket. In addition to huevos, over easy, Christmas, we ordered a pupusa to share. We ate breakfast at Tune-Up, in Santa Fe. At the time I was the editor of Powder, “The Skier’s Magazine.” An assignment brought me to Aspen, and the woman offered to meet me and then drive me to New Mexico for my first visit. Earlier that winter, while skiing at Alta, Utah, I met a woman who lived in Santa Fe. My New Mexico story begins in Aspen, Colorado. I had long been aware of the charms of Taos-its steep runs, interesting culture, good margaritas-but it was always just a little too out of the way, and the snowfall too inconsistent, to make a trip happen. The season can last from early December to early April. Taos also averages 300 inches of annual snowfall (though in the past decade it has been closer to 200 inches) and 300 days of sunshine. There’s a reason the Freeskiing World Tour hosts an annual competition on its slopes: It boasts 3,300 vertical feet of skiing over 1,281 acres, more than 50 percent of which is expert terrain. New Mexico has great skiing experiences throughout the state, but Taos offers the biggest skiing, and the only one with world-class caliber. But when I arrived at Taos Ski Valley, the experience was altogether unique. I’ve spent my life exploring the mountains of the world-I have lived in Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, and Montana and traveled to Alaska, Japan, Russia, and throughout Europe, all in search of big mountains and deep snow. And then there was the culture and history. The desert skies were vast and nuanced, as was the skiing in the Sangre de Cristos. The light was brighter, and the mountains were quieter. That was the first thing I realized, on a maiden chairlift ride at Taos Ski Valley three years ago. Above: Taos Ski Valley during its annual Torchlight Parade.
