Halfway between Taos and the Ski Valley, dip into the canyon, cross the Rio Hondo, up the ridge and around the bend, on the finest piece of land in New Mexico sits an Adobe Hacienda. High alpine mountains to your East, rolling desert plains to your West, the meeting of low sagebrush and high evergreen forest.
"Ernie was able to meld the Hispanic and Indian, call is Southwest, with American and European skiing and create a new mix, a new casserole. That's what Ernie succeeded in doing. Taos is so different." - Wolfie Lert about Ernie Blake and the founding of Taos Ski Valley
