Art, Architecture, and Design
The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is a place where the currents of History, Culture and Art merge. Taos has been identified as the place where many roads end. The Santa Fe Trail, El Camino Real, the Northernmost of the 19 Pueblos, the Eastern border of the Navajo nomadic migration lands and the Western edge of the Plains tribes. These influences have forged a true melting pot of people and cultures. The broken wheel which led to the creation of the Taos Society of Artists and the subsequent residencies of Mabel Dodge Luhan, Georgia O’Keeffe and D.H. Lawrence eventually established Taos as a center of the international world of art.
Firstly, the staff is beyond reproach. They are stellar and establish a gold standard that others should seek to emulate. Levi in 192 where we dined Saturday night carried on the excellent stature of the staff. He expressed his good fortune and gratitude to be in such a position and environment as did everyone we conversed with. The entire staff we encountered displayed a sense of ownership, commitment and autonomy to make decisions on behalf the best interests of guests and the hotel. Such empowerment is a rare commodity but yields great benefits for all concerned. We are not skiers, but I am already planning at least one if not two more weekend trips to The Blake before the summer/early fall season is over.
