Ok, so we don’t have a discount for this, but I reckon night skiing at Angel Fire is a steal at 24 bucks (or $12 to upgrade a day lift ticket). Ski or snowbord 50 acres of the mountain’s easier trails from Thursday through Saturday, between 4 and 9 pm. You’re not sliding around in [...]

Delighted to see a bunch of free lodging deals at Sipapu Ski Resort, about 20 miles south of Taos.  Free accommodation is at your choice of Sipapu, Taos, or Las Vegas, NM, or at the Sipapu RV Park and Campsite.  What’s the catch? Not much of a catch if you’re already planning to ski Sipapu, or feel [...]

Fancy a free guided mountain hike at this month’s full moon, followed by hot cocoa round the camp fire?
Then head down to Sipapu Ski Resort on Friday January 29 for a free moonlight hiking tour, stories, and campfire. They say the hiking trail is beginner level, up to the middle of the mountain, so be [...]

Ski Taos then soak your bones at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs with 20% off spring entry or 20% off accommodations when you show your lift ticket from Taos Ski Valley.

I’m excited to find a super-discounted golf package for New Mexico residents to play all eight of the Santa Fe Trail courses for only $200. That’s 25 bucks per round, a very low par for these courses, and a saving of over $150.  None are in Taos, but Taos golfers will stumble on their soft [...]

As part of American Express Women’s Golf month, free Chicks with Sticks Group Clinics run at Angel Fire Resort every Tuesday in June, between 3:00 and 3:45 p.m. Then you tee off for a 9 hole Shamble, which hopefully won’t be such a shambles if you’ve taken the clinic first.

A fun free event this Sun April 5, 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, as Taos Ski Valley celebrates end of ski season with the Bud Light Pond Skimming Championships.
