Ski trail in Taos.

This is a run we kept coming back to throughout last ski season, at least until they opened the Kachina Peak Lift, from which you can access the upper part of Hunziger. Hunziger bowl can be accessed by riding up lift 4, going to the left, and then climbing a slight pitch to your right, just above the Kachina Lift. Hunziger Bowl is a fairly steep bowl, wide at the top, narrowing towards the bottom. At the end, you can head off to the right, hugging the slope towards some tree runs (and continue further right to El Funko, which is also excellent), or simply go straight down, veering to the left, and back down to the base of lift 4. Hunziger is a great place to go when things are crowded elsewhere, and is well worth the slight climb to get there.

Located at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains in Northern New Mexico, Taos Ski Valley is a world famous destination for riders and skiers of all ability levels. Taos is primarily known for its steeps but offers beginner & intermediate trails off the top of every single chair lift. For the advanced to expert skier/rider Taos offers some of the most challenging and varied terrain in the country, especially off its hike to ridges. The family vibe is also embodied in the quaint village of Taos Ski Valley. There's several dining options, with everything in close proximity. If you are looking for more than skiing/riding check out the historic town of Taos just 18 miles down the road for a true vacation destination.

We visited for the 1st time TSV at the end of February 2020. Amazing snow, cute little village reminding me The Alpes where I’m from... Parking lot was packed but the slopes where not crowded.... Used to big ski resorts in the Alpes we were not expecting much.... We actually realized that there is plenty of challenging terrain for experts skiers and nice gentle slopes for beginners (my 8 year old niece took lessons and loved it!) We highly recommend the Bavarian Restaurant at the bottom of Kachina lift: awesome food (Real German food by the way) & great service and very well priced! Instead of going to crowded, very expensive Colorado resorts.... we’ll be back!
