Not advertised clearly
It is a very convenient location if you are skiing- because of that I would consider staying again. But that’s the only reason. It advertises that all rooms come with a TV- well they do have a TV screen, but no cable or antenna/ nothing. Not even a remote control. When told the front desk - they said “ya you have to bring a fire stick or something. And we will get some new remote controls ordered”. - thanks for the heads up. LOL
It was not very clean. (Mainly because everything is old and needs a good deep clean) but had old coffee in coffee pot, Bobby pins on floor, etc.
it was fine for the teenage boys I brought skiing though:
we stayed on a Thursday night and sipapu restaurant is not open on Thursday nights either. So pack food, and something to plug into a TV. Because after 5:00 there’s nothing to do.

Horrible experience
Well it said check in deadline was 8 pm, we got there at 7:35 to find no one around. Called the number with no answer, left a message got no reply. Never got to check in. Had to go back to the last town and get a room.

Will visit again
It’s a nice and family friendly place to stay for a ski trip. A ski in and out resort. Very satisfied overall.

Great experience! Stayed in a hotel room. It was very nice and clean. Ski school was wonderful for my teen beginner. She took a 2hr beginner private lesson and then we practiced for a day. She then took another 2hr private lesson with Tyrie and she was WONDERFUL!! Took my teen up the lifts and had her skiing down looking like a pro! My only complaint, and it's a big one.... is the snowboarders. Def the worst snowboarders I have seen at any resort in my 30+ years of skiing. They are completely out of control and have zero skill at boarding. There are no rules. A Colorado resort would revoke their passes for the things they do. Get the snowboarders under control and apply some rules and this place would be perfect!! The place does shut down when the lifts close and there is no place to eat. Taos is an easy 30minute drive as long as the weather is good. If it's snowing heavily, I would recommend having food in your room to eat for dinner!

We stayed at a Riverside cabin for 3 days of skiing. Mountain: decent variety but small compared to more popular ones in the area and/or Colorado. Price was very affordable, good for families. All operators and employees were very friendly. No lines at all at the lifts. The rentals area took 45 min and could use more employees/facilities to flow traffic better. The kids took a lesson, and the instructors were friendly. The mountain could use a bunny hill that was more elevated so beginners can learn easier; as it stands, there is a very flat training area and then a steep magic carpet slope. Not too bad but others may struggle if new to the sport. Lodging: the Riverside cabins were old, and one of the heaters did not work (they supply space heaters.) It was cozy for our family of four. Hot water in the shower tended to run out so bathe fast. As it is a very isolated ski lodge, there is not many/any options for dinners unless you drive to Vadito or Taos. The on-site restaurants close at 5pm, which does not help people staying on-site. Also, there is no way to order food unless through an app, but the wifi died one of the nights, so...you see the predicament. Be prepared and bring lots of food and food prep materials if staying on-site. Besides this, management/front desk at times seemed flustered by customer complaints and asks. It was a fun first ski experience for the family with a few hiccups.

I've been to this ski resort several times, and we love skiing here as a family. This time we arrived at 915 at night, and were given room keys. Went to our hotel room 214, and it looked like someone had hosted a party in the room by the amount of trash that was left. Returned to the front desk (a long trip in the cold) and was given keys to 3 other rooms to try. All dirty (not as bad as our room). All that the front desk could offer was a refund. "Luckily", I was able to find a hotel room in Taos, a thirty minute drive away, and at twice the price. Was able to drive the 30 minutes back the next morning to enjoy skiing. I was given my refund, and told I could find a manager on the 2nd floor later in the day to speak with about my situation. I think I'll just write reviews on several sites instead.

We stayed in a "Casita", which is a small cabin with a kitchenette and living area. The room was just fine for us. Could use a little repair to the flooring and mini blinds, but it was clean and had a very comfortable queen bed with brand new pillow top mattress, and the sofa bed was new or newly upholstered. It was so quiet and we had a great view out of the window towards the river. It is walking distance to the Ski Lodge. You can't beat the price of the lift tickets and rentals there. Great skiing for beginners or intermediate. The restaurant was only open for take out food (due to short staff and it desperately needs remodeling). You can order online and they text you when it is ready. Awesome green chile pork stew (very spicy!), and they have burgers, sandwiches etc. If you want nice amenities and modern facilities, you might want to go somewhere else, but you will pay triple the price. I do recommend, but hope they are able to update and fully open the Lodge and Restaurant soon.
