Taos Ski Valley, NM - Taos Ski Valley is perhaps the last major North American ski resort still operated by its founding family. Swiss immigrant Ernie Blake developed this tough and remote area after World War II and succeeded in creating a unique ambience via small European-style family lodges and personalized service, particularly the ski school. IÂ’ve skied Taos in 1984, 1993 and 2007, and was fortunate to stay three days at the St. Bernard Lodge in 1993 and spend two days with the ski school and marketing director Adriana Blake, ErnieÂ’s granddaughter, in 2007.
