About Taos Ski Valley

Owning a Thunderbird Condominium will afford you access to the four-season resort of Taos Ski Valley, where activities include skiing, fly fishing, horseback riding, hiking, snow shoeing, mountain or road biking and star-gazing.

Stemming from the Southern Rocky Mountain Range, Taos Ski Valley offers pure, powder skiing — steep and deep — with big blue sunny skies nearly every day of the year. No long lift lines — even the number of lift tickets sold per day is capped. Hike the ridge or ski beginning and intermediate terrain – Taos is one of the last four ski areas in the States that does not allow snowboarding.

Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, Taos hosts one of the best ski schools in the country. The Ernie Blake Ski School offers a wide array of programs with expert instructors, including a dynamic kids center.  And Thunderbird is proud to include Ambassador to Taos Ski Valley and Olympic Gold Medalist in Giant Slalom, Deb Armstrong, as our Resident Pro.

Taos Ski Valley is a secluded haven where parents know their kids are having fun in a safe and supervised environment, even when they are out of sight. Mountain living without pretense simply brings families closer to nature, closer to themselves and closer to friends in a community that honors privacy.

Rugged individualists feel a sense of excitement by venturing off the beaten path in search of a genuine and authentic experience of the American Southwest. They crave the open space and wilderness, the true mountain setting, unspoiled by urbanization and major development.

The Ski Valley is just 18 miles to the tri-cultural, historic town of Taos, with art galleries, quaint shops and boutiques and renowned restaurants.
