Yesterday, news broke that Utah’s Brighton Resort joined the already long list of Ikon Pass resorts. Today, Alterra Mountain Co. announced the addition of New Mexico’s Taos Ski Valley.
“Taos Ski Valley is thrilled to join the Ikon Pass and its impressive lineup of outstanding destinations,” said David Norden, CEO of Taos Ski Valley. “Taos has long been recognized as one of the iconic mountains of North America, is undergoing a major revitalization, and is the world’s first certified ski resort B-Corporation. As such, our mountain culture and environmental ethos align perfectly with the Ikon Pass community. Taos is honored to have been selected as an Ikon Pass partner.”

For those who have never skied there, Taos boasts over 100 trails including the classic hike-to terrain of Kachina Peak. The mountain is in the middle of a $300 million infrastructure overhaul that includes a new ski-in ski-out hotel, and a new high-speed quad chairlift.
