Taos
While New Mexico might not be the first place you'd think of as a snow destination, the little town of Taos is actually home to the state’s highest mountain, Wheeler Peak (with an elevation of 13,161 feet). The range here provides the town's renowned local art colony with abundant outdoor recreational fun, as sunny winter days are met by feather-light powder across the Taos Ski Valley, Carson National Forest, and Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area. When not playing in the snow, the town’s 5,000-plus residents support a high number of A-list restaurants, many of which turn out great Southwestern cuisine. Book yourself into one of the city's unique inns and you can also discover the area's ancient Taos Pueblo, a Native American site that's been inhabited for at least 1,000 years.
