Question
Where should we stay?
Answer
Taos Ski Valley has a few hotel and AirBnB Options. Please note that that Taos Ski Valley is a 40 minute drive from the town of Taos. We ask that you stay in the Taos Ski Valley Village for the wedding. Due to the remote location and low population there are also no rideshare uber/lyfts operating in the Taos area. We recommend The Blake Resort. A rooming link with a *NEW 25% off* room rate is provided for The Blake Resort. This is the main resort in Taos Ski Valley, named after Ernie Blake, the founder of Taos Ski Valley. The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is a place where the currents of History, Culture and Art merge. It is an 80-room alpine resort adjacent to Lift 1 designed to deliver mountainside views and adventures. Taos Ski Valley is a small mountain resort town. There are plenty of outdoor and adventurous activities around the resort area, but dining is limited. If you would like to experience more New Mexican Culture and Cuisine, Taos or Santa Fe are great options for Saturday through the weekend before heading back home.
