SUMMER CHAIR LIFT RIDES

Taos Ski Valley’s easiest and most relaxing way to escape the heat and enjoy the mountain scenery. Take in the spectacular views, blue skies and clear mountain air while riding the chairlift. At the top, experience unobstructed views of alpine peaks and abundant wildflowers. 

While Carson National Forest is closed, chair lifts will not be open. Please check for updates on the Taos Ski Valley, Inc. website.


Disc Golf

It’s Disc Golf – test your skill, keep the score, enjoy the views and spend a day in the mountains. Located around the base area and on Strawberry Hill this is a great way for the whole family to get together and try to outdo each other.

Download the course map with the free UDISC app.  The Disc Golf Course is open June – October and Hole 1 can be found at the base of chair lift 1.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Based in the Taos Ski Valley and designed for children from first grade and up, our camps focus on hands-on learning experiences. Throughout each of the two week day camp sessions, we focus on several different themes (archeology, river ecology, wildlife biology, orienteering, etc.). We explore each theme and our surroundings through hikes, field notes and drawings, organized activities, art projects, and games. The older children sessions include an overnight. We also offer two one week sessions that include backpacking trips.
