This was the Powder Dogs first trip to Taos Ski Valley and it turned out to be a great trip even though they needed snow. We flew into Albuquerque and had a 3 hour bus trip to the resort. We made a stop for food and beverages.
We stayed at Snakedance condos which was located just steps from the base chairlifts. Snakedance provided the shuttle from the airport and the service was some of the best we ever had. They supplied sandwiches and drinks on the bus, supplied us with insulated shopping bags for shopping, transported all our luggage to our rooms, gave a welcome party with guest speakers, and picked up our luggage from our room.
We had 7 nights lodging in a 2bd/2ba at the Snakedance condos and the condos were very nice and roomy. Ski lockers were provided and conveniently located just steps from the lift.
We had a club dinner at the manager of the Snakedance home which was a pleasant surprise. We took another trip into Taos for sight seeing and a dinner at Doc Martins. Our trip leader Jeannie and Monica held a club breakfast in their condo.
Unfortunately, snow conditions were not the best on this trip. No fault of the resort, just bad timing. No one skied the black runs because we would have damaged our skis. But the blue and green runs were fine and groomed nicely. No one complained about the weather as we had 6 days of blue skies with temps in the 30's and 40's. It turned out to be a fun trip even with a lack of fresh snow.
