“The Blake embodies a soulful tapestry that is uniquely Northern New Mexican, and we are thrilled that readers agree it is the best ski hotel,” said Taos Ski Valley CEO David Norden. “From big-mountain adventure steps from the door, to museum-quality artwork throughout, to tiny rituals that create lasting memories in the hearts and minds of the guests we welcome year-round, this is more than a place to stay.”
 
Woven into The Blake experience are the wild elements of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a confluence of cultures a thousand years in the making, and an independent streak that belies Taos’s true sense. The Blake also extends Taos Ski Valley’s B Corp ethos, and environmental and social responsibility values that are important to today’s travelers. It has been awarded LEED Silver certification, uses geothermal heating and cooling, and boasts advanced water efficiency.
 
The Blake is more accessible than ever this winter, as Taos Air will re-start direct flights from Dallas and Austin in December, and will begin direct flights from Los Angeles and Carlsbad for the first time in January. Taos Air offers a private charter flight experience at the price of a commercial airline ticket, and also offers complimentary ground shuttle service between the Taos Regional Airport and The Blake along with complimentary ski and snowboard rentals for four days.
 
The Blake, which is also ranked among the best hotels nationally according to TripAdvisor and recognized as the best hotel in New Mexico by Reader’s Digest, is currently offering season-opening deals.
