Travel Tips

This is most of the trail map from our visit in January 1995. We'll see how clearly it comes out as the main picture.

Yep, nothing fancy to explain here. Liked the Spanish guy on his horse in his finery so el touristo just had to have his photo taken in front of it!

The lovely reassuring sign that tells you that Taos Ski Valley does indeed have many runs that you, the mere mortal just like me, can ski without risking limb or life! LOL!

Yep, looking back down "Al's Run" when half way up the chairlift!

Thank goodness you don't have to ski back down this run to get back to the lodge!

Just just to put it into perspective dear reader!!!!!!

Mind you, it doesn't look as steep from back here as it does when you're standing right next to the "Don't Panic" sign or riding up the chairlift. that's when you should keep in mind the old adage........,
"Never look back"!!!!!!

Rules this little brown duck out!

Here we get to the real tricky stuff and you have to be darned fit just to hike up there with full ski gear and lugging skis too. And that's before you get to ski down the double black diamond trails to get back to what I like....., the nice groomed, even stuff.

Wish I was good enough, not to mention fit enough to ski this, but it's never going to happen!
