Even with the limited amount of snowfall this season, there were ample trails to enjoy and pretty views to take in. We opted for the Beginners Lesson Package and our instructor, Shane, was phenomena! After the lesson we ventured out alone for a nice two hour XC experience. The equipment was top notch, the trails were well-groomed and the staff exceptional! If you're in Red River and want to expand your winter activities, definitely pay this beautiful gem a visit. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time!

The mountain itself is great, but the website is hands‑down one of the worst I've ever used. We've…read morespent HOURS just trying to reserve tubing spots, and the entire process is a mess from start to finish. Creating accounts is painfully slow, and you're forced to assign a separate email to every single person. After jumping through all those hoops, the site still refuses to move anything to the cart. The worst part is that it doesn't even tell you what's wrong -- it just silently fails. When we finally called, we were told there are only a limited number of tubing spots available. That's fine... but the website doesn't show availability, doesn't warn you, and apparently just deletes your account attempts if the spots are gone. How is that acceptable in 2026? We've wasted hours fighting a system that should take five minutes. The mountain is fun, but the website is embarrassingly outdated and absolutely needs a complete overhaul. Please fix your website. It's ruining what should be an easy, enjoyable experience

I have been a returning customer for several years and typically purchase a season pass each…read moreseason. Unfortunately, my recent experience with customer service was very disappointing. After purchasing a season pass reload for approximately $500, I discovered that I had lost my previous pass card. When I contacted customer service, I was informed that replacing the card would cost $23. Considering the significant cost of the season pass itself, I find this replacement fee excessive, especially since the actual RFID card likely costs only a small fraction of that amount. What concerned me even more was the way the situation was handled. The customer service manager was dismissive and stated that there was no one above him that I could speak with regarding my concerns. When I asked for his name, the call was abruptly disconnected. This interaction left me feeling disrespected as a loyal customer. I have misplaced my pass several times in the past, so I also asked whether there were any improved attachment options or solutions available to help customers avoid losing their passes. Rather than offering suggestions or assistance, I was simply told that no such options existed. The mountain itself is excellent, which is why I continue to purchase season passes. However, the quality of customer service does not reflect the quality of the resort. I hope management will consider reviewing both the replacement pass policy and the way customer concerns are handled, as loyal returning customers deserve to be treated with respect and professionalism. I found out his name is Adam he was the worst person I have ever had to deal with at guest services

Taos Ski Valley deserves an enthusiastic 5-star review, at least from the focus of this review on…read moretheir incredible Youth Ski School. Our 9-year-old son's first skiing experience was nothing short of amazing, thanks to the exceptional staff who provided not only quality instruction but also positive reinforcement throughout. Really nice twenty-something kids who could probably ski in their sleep did an outstanding job supporting every kid... including kids like ours who were strapping on skis for the first time in their lives. What truly set this ski school apart was the unwavering positivity - no negative words were uttered to any child in the classes. Even in a year with minimal natural snow, the instructional facilities at Taos Ski Valley were top-notch, well groomed and maintained. The progressive teaching approach ensured that our son, along with his fellow students, developed their skills steadily. By the end of the day, they were confidently riding up the Gondolina, pointing their skis to stop quickly, making strong turns, and enjoying a thrilling ski run down the hill. The natural beauty of Taos Ski Valley--despite the 9 degree temperature when we arrived in the morning!-- served as a breathtaking backdrop to our son's introduction to skiing, enhancing the overall experience. After just one lesson, our son is now completely hooked on the sport. We highly recommend Taos Ski Valley's Youth Ski School for its exceptional instructors, positive environment, world class facilities, and the perfect blend of instruction and enjoyment that turned our son into a skiing enthusiast after just one day. It was truly an amazing experience.

Some of the hotels/lodging on the mountain are lovely but we didn't stay there due to higher cost. We stayed in El Prado, about a 30 minute drive, however, it's a beautiful drive. Of course, we wish there had been more snow but that's the case everywhere out west in December-January 2025-2026 or so it seems. Either way, the consensus from our party was that we would return here to ski again.

Spindrift is a cute, colorful shop right on the main street through Blanca. We ordered them online a few days before, but there were plenty of boards when we arrived. The large group in front of us seemed to be walk ins and received boards with no issue. Amy greeted us and got us set up with our boards and sled. We had three different style of boards for different riding experiences. She gave us all fun "jobs" on the dunes and thorough instructions. We all agreed the world needs more Amys. She is really pleasant, welcoming, and a wonderful individual. The dunes are another 30 minute drive from Blanca, but well worth it to get the quality and variety of boards and sled versus what you can get at the store right by the Dunes. The prices were half of that store and the boards are superior in every way. Useful tip Amy gave us - wear socks with your sandals or crocs. That sand temperature in the summer is no joke and can burn your feet fast. Just rock the socks! I highly recommend Spindrift to anyone looking to do sand boarding or sledding!

I paid around $300/night for a room that was in need of a lot of TLC (see pics). Motel 6 might be nicer???? I mean it's been a while since I frequented one of those for a high school party?!?!? The heat was horrible. Our room was so hot! We had the 1970's unit turned off but the room stayed tundra hot. We had maintence come one day 2. After all of one minute he said IDK and left??? We had a box fan on high the entire time as well as windows open when it felt okay (the car exhaust from the parking lot prohibited that at times. There was zero security. None of the rooms on the left side (when facing the place) on the "resort" were locked. I take that back. One was locked but only because it was broken and wouldn't open at all (door 2). This place will nickel and dime you to death! Food and drink is ridiculous. $4-5/soda, $18-$20 for chicken nuggets or burger with fries (my kids told me their school food was better?!?!?). And lose the keycard...that's $35 for each lost key. My kids held on to those with their lives!!! And the keycards barely worked. I stopped counting the number of times we had to the keycards rekeyed. Ugh. The pool and hot tub are surrounded by slippery tile. Super smart?!?!? And my youngest kid got a rash from the hot tub. Thank goodness Ed's I had hydrocortisone cream. When the bubbles aren't going the hot tub is cloudy. Ick! And if you want to talk to management. Good luck! You'll have to EMAIL to talk to them. The boots I rented sliced my shins all to hell after one hour ski school. The rental place tried to blame it on my attire (having more than my socks in the boot). Nope, I watched the Angel Fire video on what to wear. I never got a sorry. Here's a free $5 soda on us. NOTHING. And the final item that secured us take time out of my day to write this review. I was waiting on someone to back out of a parking sport at El Jefe to eat. A surfer looking dude told me to move cause I was holding up traffic. I pointed the the car pulling out. He said he didn't care. As I'm old and give zero eeffs...I sat there and waited. After looking at the menu we didn't eat there. So I could have saved myself the heartache. But man...the staff. So the staff...a good portion are drifters from hotel to hotel during the season. A lot sound like CHEECH. Most don't give any thought to your experience or satisfaction, with the exception of the ski instructors. I will said Daniel was the bees knees!!! And after hours the staff like to hang at the overpriced diners onsite and talk about their hippie beliefs such as queerness and Trump. As if my kids need to hear any of that? As if I care??? And maybe I'd like a seat at the bar, but there weren't any due to the staff. David- your bias is showing. I didn't say anything about anyone's ethnicity or politics. I said keep the staff's political views away from my KIDS. The staff talked about THEIR political beliefs in guest spaces. I could not care less what the staff think politically. I do care if my 11 & 13 yo have to hear it at dinner in the only restaurant open for dinner inside the lodge. I also didn't say anything about ethnicity. But since you bring it up...the folks I interacted with were all white. I was pointing out they all seem like stoners. The part about roaming from resort to resort was a topic I asked the 6 staffers sitting at the bar while waiting on my family to arrive so I could move to a table. I specifically asked how they started working at Angel Fire. Those are their words. I went ahead and changed my stats to a 1 based on your response.

As we got close he decides to stop in the middle of a wide part that we could have easily passed him. He started waving his hands at us to stop and gave us a pissy look. THEN he decides to back up and move over and let us through. We have been Jeeping the trails of NM and CO for almost 20 years so we're not rookies. We had the right of way and he stopped in the middle of a wide spot. We have been offroading in the area for over a month now and this was the only rude person we have passed on the trail. Everyone else has been smiling and accommodating to others as are we. After we were done with that trail we were wanting to do another and I had remembered researching one but didn't bring the info with me. I figured one of the outfitter/tours/adventure stores might have a map. The first place we passed was RR Offroad. Walked into the mess of a front waiting area and he yelled he'd be down. Lo and behold it was the same rude guy. Explained I was looking for a offroad map and he abruptly told me no one in town would have that kind of stuff. That seemed odd. I also asked if anyone in town sold stickers with the passes/trails on them (like they do in Silverton/Ouray so I could add to my collection). He laughed at me and told me just to grab some of the dirt as a souvenir. Which in a national forest I'm pretty sure is illegal. So I said nevermind and walked out. We went down a block to Bighorn Sports & Rentals and I walked into a clean shop with a guy behind the counter with a friendly face that was glad to help me figure out where the trail I wanted was and happily sold me a map. Now I'm not sure if this guy's attitude changes as long as he's getting your money. But after the day's encounters with him there's no way in hell I'd give him one dime of our hard earned money. Buyer beware. And yes this my first ever Yelp review. I was treated THAT bad.
