    Aspen Lift is okay, and Townsight is great (but almost never open), but Lone Spruce and Mother are relics.

    What an amazing experience to be able to ride the Sandi Peak Tram! It has been on my list of things…read moreto do in ABQ for quite some time. Staff was friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. Our guide up the mountain was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of interesting and unique facts with us. Despite it being cloudy at the top, the views going up and down were amazing. While at the top, we decided to walk around and explore a little. Some things you note; the temperature drops considerably up at the top. Bring some layers! Bring some snack to enjoy as the restaurant isn't always open and can be a little spendy. Definitely a must-do in ABQ!

You can purchase tickets online for a two hour window to ride the tramway up. After that you can spend as much time as you like at the peak before heading back down. We bought our tickets for the 3-5 PM window which is a popular slot as many people like to watch the sunset from the top. It is a gorgeous sight to watch the sunset from the peak and even more so as the lights turn on throughout the city below. It was also very cold in December so make sure you bundle up before taking the tram. One drawback is that the tram only runs every 15 minutes and there's a huge live to go back down after the sunset. It was almost an hour's wait to take the trip back.

Checked in, signed waivers, got 3 robes. We got private room 3. It comes with hot spring filled hot tub (jet set button is on the wall near the bench. Typical 15 min timer), tiny cold plunge, full bathroom (toilet, sink, shower) AND a private Sauna. Small indoor bed for rest with a big jar of ice water. On top of the indoor bed, it came with plenty of towels and slippers. It was private enough that we felt safe to be nude in the private space. We absolutely enjoyed the time here. Love the hot spring water. Love the sauna. The cold plunge is doing its thing. The view is soothing and you can smell the wood burning smell in the air. Somehow, it was incredibly grounding.

All worth it.

    Taos Ski Valley - Lift 1

    Taos Ski Valley

    (113 reviews)

    We recently visited Taos Ski Valley and while we did have fun, I want to share an honest review…read morefrom the perspective of a family traveling with accessibility needs. Positives first: There is handicapped parking available, the staff across the village was consistently kind and willing to help, and there are so many fun activities for kids sledding, snowboarding, ice skating, and the Gondolita was such a cute, fun little ride the kids absolutely loved. The food was great, the drinks were amazing, and overall it can be a wonderful family experience. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Felipe at Taos Guest Services/Ticketing. He was incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and truly went above and beyond for us. When you're already navigating a challenging situation, people like him make all the difference and we truly appreciated him. However, accessibility is a serious issue here and needs attention. The area is not ADA-friendly at all. Most shops have steps with no ramps, doorways are too narrow for wheelchairs, and many restaurants are extremely cramped with very little space to move through. The only elevator we could find was inside The Blake Hotel, and although staff eventually understood, it was uncomfortable having to justify using the elevator simply to access the lower level like everyone else. The "handicapped parking" area is also on a slope, which makes it difficult and unsafe for wheelchairs or mobility-restricted guests. The shuttles have such small clearance that even my stroller couldn't fully board, so we had to physically hold it while it hung on a step. A designated lounge or viewing area for guests who cannot ski would have made a huge difference especially ADA-accessible viewing spots for skiing and sledding so disabled guests can still comfortably enjoy watching family and friends. Constructively, I strongly recommend clearly marking ADA-only viewing areas so they remain available for people with both visible and invisible disabilities. We still made beautiful memories, but navigating the area was unnecessarily difficult for what is promoted as a family-friendly destination. I would absolutely return, because we did enjoy it but the ADA accessibility truly needs to be re-evaluated and improved. One helpful tip for future visitors: If you need ski or snowboard rentals, check out Taos Pueblo Sur, as their pricing is much more affordable. Things can get pricey VERY quickly in the main area.

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.

    Review based only on summer lodging, not winter/ski season…read more We stayed at Sipapu during the summer and unfortunately, the experience was a bit underwhelming. We booked one of the cabin duplexes, which turned out to be extremely outdated. The space had a very old, dingy smell, and there were several cleanliness issues--some areas were noticeably dirty and there were no tissues provided. The heater didn't work, which made the colder summer nights uncomfortable, and to make matters worse, one of the bathroom windows wouldn't fully close. It definitely has rustic charm and potential, but the accommodations could really use some updates and better upkeep. For what we paid, it was definitely not worth the price. With a few improvements, it could be a much more enjoyable stay.

After about 20-30 minutes of waiting, they finally came to the conclusion it did not work. After we had told that already. Their solution to the problem was to purchase another one, full price. We were not given another for free, and they did not allow us to place our belongings anywhere, for safe keeping, in a backroom or side area. So our only choices were to leave our stuff in the car or purchase another locker. Aside from this the conditions were terrible, though that could be placed on the weather. With not many trails open, and riding got pretty repetitive very quickly.

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. After reading your Google reviews too this place is hit or miss. For the prices there should only be hits.

Several of us would only make it 1/3 or barely half way down the hill and had to walk the rest of it each time. Worst tubing experience ever!
