Taos
58 miles away
...ki resorts. It is a place where one can escape into the ancient cultures of the Southwest or explore the side of a vast mountain that has been opened up for skiing and snowboarding, but not tamed. Taos combines the warm ambiance of a small European-style village nestled at the base of a great mountain, a superb ski school and an ambiance founded on the classic pleasures of skiing and snowboarding. Taos blends its high elevation and arid desert climate to provide skiers with the perfect conditions; light dry snow and bright sunshine. From the famed steeps to gentle bowls, Taos' terrain appeals to the super-expert and the beginner alike. With a peak elevation of 11,819 feet, a base of 9,207 feet and 1,294 acres of ski trails, Taos offers varied and challenging terrain to delight skiers of all abilities.
One of Taos' most enduring ski traditions is the steep skiing off The Ridge. This requires a hike of anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour to get to these ''extreme, double-diamond'' runs. The reward is the best ''steep and deep'' skiing in America and a chance to experience off pis...

Wolf Creek
77 miles away
Wolf Creek is renowned for light, fluffy powder that comes in epic portions.In addition to a variety of traditionally maintained beginner and intermediate terrain, Wolf Creek offers an exceptional back-country feel with 1,000 acres of advanced and expert terrain serviced by the Alberta lift, including the breathtaking Knife Ridge, the challenging Waterfall Area, and Alberta Peak, the pinnacle of Wolf Creek Ski Area, all of which exists largely in its natural state.....After a snow-filled December, Wolf Creek Ski Area has surpassed the 200-inch mark, making it the ski resort with the Most Snow in the Nation! With sun-filled days and not another storm coming in for at least a week, this is the best time to discover why boarders and skiers alike have coveted the deep powder and incredible natural snow in Southwest Colorado....Wolf Creek Ranch is half the distance from the slopes, and it the best place to stay! The people there were so nice. We rented a wonderful cabin that had its own hotub. I recomend this place when looking for lodging in Wolf Creek....Totally awsome skiing and boarding here....I went to Wolf Creek with my youth group in march of 2006. It was my first time skiing, and i would love to go back it was fun and exciting all the people were really nice to. Thanks...
