Extreme skiing found its first U.S. venue at theTaos Ski Valley because of its rough terrain. Here, founder Ernie Blake’s vision brought a true challenge to expert skiers. But Taos Ski Valley is not just for experts. There are many intermediate and beginner runs. Taos Ski Valley is for all who have that spirit of adventure!

Comfort, luxury and amenities, minutes from the runs!
The Kandahar Condominiums, located in the heart of Taos Ski Valley, have provided comfort and convenience to Taos skiers for decades and now offers these same accommodations to Taos snow boarders. Our family friendly condominiums overlook the resort's beginner hill, just a few feet from the ski school meeting place. Kandahar homeowners have renovated and decorated their condominiums to reflect their own personal tastes. Every unit is unique, but all offer you a warm and relaxing retreat from the winter weather and a cool mountain breeze in the summer sunshine.

In the off-season, Taos Ski Valley offers a multitude of activities. Relax in the natural hot springs just down the road. Try  river-rafting, hot-air ballooning, hiking, fly-fishing, horseback riding, camping, rock climbing, mountain biking and any other outdoor activity that you can imagine! Only 18 miles from Taos Ski Valley is the historic town of Taos, offering a multitude of art galleries and cultural activites. Cool and beautiful in the winter and warm and pleasant in the summer; you'll find Taos Ski Valley is the perfect year-round vacation resort!
