Taos Ski ValleyDescriptionAfter you've skied Taos once you may just want to call it home. Taos has, you will find, much more to offer beyond Pure Skiing. In the summertime, the passionate skier finds activities to replace the slopes: whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain biking or fly-fishing. There are events year-round for every interest. A thriving and historically significant artist's colony, there are arts festivals all over the year.
Ceremonies open to the public at centuries-old Taos Pueblo inform tourists and locals alike of ancient Indian traditions. Visit Taos Pueblo
Taos is a heaven for the environmentally-concerned and socially-progressive people to exchange creative ideas. If Santa Fe is the "City Different," Taos is the "Alternative" to that city. Taos is also a spiritual Mecca, a home to many religious viewpoints.
