Ski pioneer Ernie Blake dreamed of a skier's paradise 43 years ago and built his dream where the highway ends, on a mountain with terrain so varied he knew it would challenge his skiing friends forever. He created Taos Ski Valley, a resort dedicated to skiing and people who love to ski. Taos Ski Valley still brims with ski enthusiasts drawn by the same passion that brought Ernie. Instructors at the Ernie Blake Ski School turn ski instruction into an art form, continually updating time-tested programs to reflect innovations in skier technology. Consistently rated among the best in North America, this ski school offers many special programs throughout the season.
Instructors also turn children into confident, life-long skiers by making lessons fun.
