Community Caring
Now, more than ever, we must come together as a community and support one another. Taos Ski Valley is focusing on caring for our staff and our local community. Together, we recover and build a more resilient community.
Our Commitment
Taos Ski Valley is committed to our community during the coronavirus pandemic. Although our ski resort is closed, we’re working every day to support the people and organizations of Northern New Mexico who are impacted, as our values compel us to do. We offer our unwavering support to the residents of Taos through financial resources, volunteerism, and collaborative leadership expertise. Together, Taos will endure this challenging time.
5.20.2020 Fund for Taos update
The Village of Taos Ski Valley community raised $114,000 for the Fund for Taos, which is the specialized coronavirus relief, recovery, and resiliency fund created by the Taos Community Foundation. The $114,000 came from Village residents, businesses, resort staff, and homeowners, and includes an earlier $25,000 donation and an additional $25,000 matching grant from the Taos Ski Valley Foundation, the New Mexico affiliate of Louis Bacon’s, Moore Charitable Foundation.
“The incredible generosity of this tiny community is staggering and we are deeply grateful for their donations,” said Lisa O’Brien, Director, Taos Community Foundation. “These funds will help us serve area residents who are struggling amid the pandemic."

MAKING MASKS
Lauryn Mangat, Guest Services Manager at The Blake, and her mother have been busy making masks for Taos Whole Health, Holy Cross Hospital, and community and family members in need. We applaud Lauryn and Terrie for stepping up and filling a void in our community!
Local Schools
When volunteers were called upon to help with food distribution to local school children, members of both the Taos Ski Valley Ski Patrol and the Operations teams quickly shifted from the mountain to our town to offer any assistance they could.
Food Donation
We recently partnered with Shared Table, and to date, across three deliveries, have donated more than 100 cases of fresh produce, milk, cream butter, cheese, eggs, and deli meats. The Shared Table is a food pantry that provides restriction-free access to anyone in need.
Goggles for Docs
Taos Ski Valley is supporting Goggles for Docs and we ask that our skiers/riders support, too. Locally, you can donate goggles at Quail Ridge and Cottam's Ski Shops downtown location. If you can't drop off in Taos and want to learn more about the program, how to donate by mail, and donation guidelines you can do so via the link below.
In The Community
The community of Taos means so much to us. Taos Ski Valley is committed to doing everything it can to not only help flatten the curve but also to supporting our local community. We truly are all in this together.
