25 days to Thanksgiving 🦃❄️ Four mountains are already spinning: Keystone, Wolf Creek (a week early!), A-Basin, and Lake Louise as of today. Brian Head’s the one to watch. It’s getting hammered today, opens Friday, and is on track for more than double its usual Thanksgiving snow by mid-November. Telluride’s already right at its Thanksgiving normal, and Taos, Alta and Purgatory all reload through Monday. Tahoe’s the wild card: a big storm could roll in Nov 12–14 if it comes together. Who’s your Thanksgiving pick? 👇 Full rankings at snowsure.com by @taosskivalley

🚌⚡BIG NEWS: @RIDETHEBLUEBUS IS GOING YEAR-ROUND TO TAOS SKI VALLEY! 💙♻️✅ More Bluebird Days on the mountain straight ahead! Starting Saturday, November 7, the 341 TSV Green route will run 365 days a year, connecting Taos, Arroyo Seco and the Village of Taos Ski Valley, including holidays. What was once seasonal service is becoming a year-round connection for the people who live, work and play here. Early adopters? You bet. As North Central Regional Transit rolls out a growing fleet of hybrid-electric and fully electric buses, the future of getting to the mountains is looking more bluebird than ever. More mountain access. More connections, quietly. More ways to efficiently get to the Valley with less exhaust, every season of the year. 🍁 Why this matters: 💙 More transportation options for local workers and businesses 🏔️ Easier access to Taos Ski Valley beyond ski season 🚌 Reliable connections between our communities throughout the year ⚡ A new generation of public transportation taking the road to the mountains Before you ride, check the updated route schedule and stop information at RideTheBlueBus.com. Some stops are changing to accommodate the new, 35-foot buses. Here’s to better connections, year-round round trip mountain access and a big step forward for transportation in Northern New Mexico. See you on the Blue Bus! 💙 #TaosSkiValley #BlueBus #TaosNM #SustainableTransportation #MountainLife by @taosskivalley
Tuesdays are for tacos. The rest of the week has plans, too. 🌮🍻🍸 Hot spot on the grill! At Millicent’s Bar & Lounge inside @hoteldonfernando, there are a few friendly faces reason enough to pull up a chair, order something delicious, and make a night of it. From Taos-style comfort food to cocktails featuring New Mexico’s own @rollingstilltaos spirits, come hungry and stay awhile. Here’s your weekly lineup: 🍹 Margarita Mondays | 4:30–9 PM Kick off the week with $5 margaritas in Strawberry, Mango, or Chile-Tamarind. 🌮 Taco Tuesdays | 4:30–9 PM Your Tuesday plans, sorted. $3 tacos with your choice of pork, beef, or chicken. 🍗 Wing Wednesdays | 4:30–9 PM Midweek cravings call for $6 wings in BBQ, Buffalo, or plain. 🥃 Thirsty Thursdays | 4:30–9 PM Happy hour all evening, with $2 off beer bottles and cans, draft beer, wine by the glass, and well cocktails. And there’s more on the table. Think crispy jalapeño poppers, elote with lime butter and cotija, a Taos taco on fry bread, enchiladas smothered in your choice of red or green chile, and sirloins coming off Chef James’s grill for a catered gathering. Behind the bar, Tara’s ready to stir and Brian channels his inner “Dude”. The Pecan White Russian with pecan-infused vodka, Kahlúa, and cream. A reason to stay for one more and some southwestern hospitality from folks who live here and work hard to make you feel at home. Planning a holiday party? Let us help you bring everyone together over good food, drinks, and a little Taos charm. 🎉 📍 Millicent’s Bar & Lounge at Hotel Don Fernando 1005 Paseo del Pueblo Sur, Taos Daily, 4:30–9 PM | Happy Hour, 4:30–6:30 PM Locals, hotel guests, and hungry travelers are all welcome. Double dip… we won’t tell!! #HotelDonFernando #MillicentsBar #TaosNM #TacoTuesday #TaosDining by @taosskivalley
Rain Check? Full Moon Had Other Plans! 🌕🌨️🏔️ When it rains, it pours… moonlight! On Sunday night, October’s Hunter’s Moon rose over Taos just as the sun set and a squall line moved north through the valley. By early morning, the clouds had cleared revealing a frosted Vallecitos as the moon set over Two Peaks! We’ll take 5” on the @skitaos Poco snow stick, a little high-desert drama to start the week and more snow on the way! ❄️ #TaosSkiValley #HuntersMoon #TaosNewMexico #HighDesert #Timelapse by @taosskivalley
In the mountains of life. That’s where you’ll find your purpose. Right before the peak. At the hardest part of your journey. @taosskivalley @taosnews @taos @visittaos #wheelerpeak #wheelerpeakwilderness #wheelerpeaknm #photography #photogram by @taosskivalley
