2027-01 Taos Ski Valley Resort

About this event


Jay and Dorothy Hart led this trip back in 2002 with 25 S'no Jokers in attendance.  This upcoming trip will be very similar in design. We'll start with a Saturday flight into nearby Albuquerque, NM and board a shuttle bus to Taos, NM. Depending on traffic, the bus ride will last approximately 2 1/2 hours, and it will include a stop at a subway restaurant with a pre-ordered meal provided. Upon arrival at the Hampton Inn, your hosts will provide a welcome party to cover last minute details and indulge in some celebratory libations and appetizers. A hot/cold buffet breakfast is included daily at our lodging facility.

On Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we'll catch public transportation to the ski area on the first two shuttles leaving to the ski area. On Monday, and Tuesday, we'll have a reserved bus that will accommodate the whole group.  New to this trip... So we don't have to carry our skis from the room to the bus, and the bus to the ski hill each day, we have included an overnight ski check at the resort for the duration of our stay.  On Sunday, (first day of lessons) skiers will be assigned to their classes based on their current skiing ability. Each day group classes go out at 10, explore the hill, and end at lunch time (12:30).  After lunch, go out and test your newly learned skills and revisit your favorite spots you explored in the morning or venture into new ones. If 6 days of skiing is aggressive, you may opt to take the shuttle back early on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, and explore the town. 

In regards to Lift tickets, IKON FULL Pass holders are covered for 6 days of skiing. IKON BASE Pass holders are covered for 5 of the 6 days, and have a Blackout Day for our first day, so you will want to add the 1 day lift ticket option to your registration.  Non-IKON Pass holders will want to purchase the 6 day lift ticket option.

For those considering using SKY MILES, or other airline perks and choosing to forego the airfare portion of this trip, the flight times are listed below so you can ensure the flights you choose are coordinated in a manner that you arrive in time to catch the provided RT ground transportation.
Flight #AS2209 Leaves Seattle 1/16/27 11:16AM Arrives Albuquerque 3:19PM.
Flight #AS2208 Leaves Albuquerque 1/23/27 4:11PM Arrives Seattle 6:23PM.

The included group dinner will be across the street at the popular Sagebrush Inn on Thursday evening.  The dinner will feature New Mexican cuisine "buffet style".  On other nights, you are free to visit several other restaurants within walking distance.
