10 Ski & Snow Tours in New Mexico That You Shouldn't Miss
With its rich cultural heritage from Native American and Spanish settlers, New Mexico has been both a Spanish colony and a Mexican colony, and still retains a strong individual identity within the United States. The landscape is breathtaking, the food incredible, and there is a thriving cultural scene, all of which makes New Mexico, and Santa Fe in particular, a great place all year long.

The ski school is truly awesome. My kids age 5,7,9 y.o enjoyed their classes and instructors tremendously. We initially only signed them up for 1 day to see if they like, oh no they LOVE it. My kids had never skied before. The 7&9 y.o could stop and make turn after 1d and could go down the green bunny slope and between the trees on the 3rd day. The 5 y.o could stop and make turns after 2nd day. So in all we sent them for 3d at ski school and last day we skied down together as family. I also took a 2.5 hr intermediate adult ski lesson because I could never properly go down blue trail without falling, it was the best $75 ever spent. Rick took the three of us down the trails and took sufficient break and gave good tips as we skied down together, I think it was the calmest downhill skiing i ever did my entire life. Salute to Taos ski school team!

Want to enjoy spectacular mountain scenery on a laid back two hour snowmobile tour? Join Big Al as he guides you through trails in the Carson National Forest to sweeping scenic views. After being met at the Taos Ski Valley parking lot, the souped up school bus "limo" took us up the mountain to the trailhead to start our "private" tour. Fortunately, Big Al took our party of two for a late afternoon run. A quick intro to the snowmobile was followed by a couple of hours exploring the trails. From faces carved into the trees to a hawk that swooped down to pick up a white rabbit that was not camouflaged in the snow, many surprises were around the bends on the snow covered roads. Nice to climb up the mountain to get a couple of panoramic views at over 12,000 feet. Cost was $90 per person for the tour. Cash only. Dress warmly. Bring snow goggles and gloves. Safety is a priority. Masks required. Big Al checks in on you frequently. Great way to spend an afternoon on a sunny winter day.

Best time! This was my first time snowmobiling, husband's third. I had a Blast! I was a tiny bit nervous driving my own snowmobile but it went away quickly as soon as we got started. I was behind the guide, Tim, who is friendly and fun. We took the first morning ride. He got a feel for our group and off we went. It was like riding through a winter wonderland; snow covered trees, fun trails and So fun going up the fresh trails. I felt like we went fast enough, so we really enjoyed that. Top of the mountain was gorgeous, took pics and the ride down was exhilarating!!! I can see how some would feel as if it's hard for the little ones bc it is very cold, and hard for children to handle, so maybe consider doing this with teens. We did the 2 hour trip, which is long enough and brought a thermos of cocoa along, as well. We will do this again bc it was SO fun! Thank you Tim for making it a great experience.
