If you are looking for “steeps”, Kachina Peak is the place to go. Accessible by lift, the terrain more closely resembles something that you would have to hike to normally.
From the top of Lift 2 you have hiking access to some of the best runs on the mountain via Highline Ridge and West Basin Ridge. The chutes off of the West Basin Ridge host Freeride World Tour athletes and are some of the gnarliest terrain in the resort.
Taos is a great family friendly resort with a dedicated mini gondola just for the kids slope. The kids slope is separate from the runs on the main mountain.
After a big day of activity, don’t miss out on a burger from 192 at The Blake. An upscale setting with enhanced bar food and elegant vibe.

Aside from skiing, there are plenty of snowshoe trails and family fun activities in the Ski Valley. If you are looking to unwind, try the Taos Spa & Wellness Center at The Blake hotel. The perfect spot to get a massage and enjoy a soak in the hot tube.
