Top North American Ski Resorts We Sing the Slopes Fantastic NEW MEXICO :: TAOS By Stephanie Pearson
WHY WE LOVE IT: ¡Viva variedad! Park your journeyman Subaru wagon or beat Jeep CJ right next to that limited-edition Mercedes with the Texas plates—they'll appreciate the contrast. Then look heavenward and feast your begoggled eyes on runs so close to vertical they'll steal your heart (or sink it, if you're toting a prohibited snowboard). NUMBER-ONE RUN: Longhorn, a lengthy and snaky double black, shoots between palisades of tall pines, dropping 1,900 vertical feet to a catwalk that spits you out at the base. Masochists should save it for the end of the day, when the bumps are the size of small igloos.
SOUL PATCH: Dog-tired and depleted? Stop off at art-infested Taos Pizza Outback, where the cooks spin tasty sesame-sprinkled crusts, blank canvases just waiting for your own creative topping conglomerations.
