There's a lot to do besides skiing in Taos, if finding solitude in nature is your thing the many hiking trails on the #CarsonNationalForest provide excellent opportunities.

Breathing the pristine air, stopping to listen to a stream flowing down through the forest, seeing a hawk soaring effortlessly across the sky.

Many of the ski runs here hold names carried over from Europe by our ski area's founder Ernie Blake, references to people and places of significance from his time working with U.S. military intelligence during World War II. Names like Stauffenberg, Zdarsky and Rubezahl reflect this historical significance. Some other runs have names with more local significance, like Castor and Pollux, named for two bright stars which during Winter can be spotted travelling across the sky high above Taos Ski Valley and Kachina Peak. These bright stars are part of the constellation Gemini, which can be spotted above the western horizon just before sunrise. If you're in the town of Taos look towards the Rio Grande Gorge before heading up to the mountains to ski and catch a glimpse of these bright, beautiful twin stars welcoming an adventurous day ahead #TaosSkiValley #TaosHistory #ErnieBlake #SkiTaos #RideTaos #Kachina #Starlight #Stargazing #NewMexicoNightSky #CosmicLight #MilkyWay #Galaxy

Have you hiked #NewMexico's highest summit, #WheelerPeak? During the Winter this challenging intermediate climb is popular with #peakbaggers and #backcountryskiers alike, access is via either the #BulloftheWoods or #WilliamsLake trails. #Snowshoes or climbing skins are recommended to attempt either route, as well as knowing how to assess snowpack conditions. With the proper equipment and experience the views from the top are worth the effort. #CarsonNationalForest #WheelerPeakWilderness #TaosSkiValley #HikeTaos
T-minus one week + one day until the 2018 #TaosSkiValley Ski Season grabs big air...

Read our latest blog (taosskivalley.com/blog)for 9 reasons why! . . . #SkiTaos #Ski #Snowboard #Snowmobile #Snowshoe #OutdoorMecca #LandofEnchantment #NewMexicoTrue

#Longhorn is looking nice with the #AutumnColors reaching their peak! All week should be great for some authentic #NewMexicoGold leaf viewing. Tonight's full moon will lighten up the night, and there's a chance for some high elevation snow tomorrow night! Got us thinking of all the talk about #ElNino developing this winter
Have you ever been on a #fullmoon hike in the mountains? It's pretty amazing seeing the slopes at night nearly bright as day. Meet tomorrow night September 24th at 8:15pm at the #WilliamsLake hiker parking trailhead if you'd like to join a guided hike to the lake. The weather looks to be good with intermittent clouds, bring your headlamp and dress warm, there's a cold front coming through Tuesday with a chance of snow in the higher elevations Tuesday night! #hiking #hiketaos #fullmoonhike #tothestars #taoscosmos #taosskivalley #stargazer #moonlightmagic #alpineadventures #taosatnight
