Best Ski Resort for Après-Ski in New Mexico: Taos Ski Valley - Après-Ski Rating
Taos delivers a cracking après-ski scene according to our community. One Snomad user described the resort as having "a local vibe that was incredibly welcoming and cool" - perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. While the village isn't massive, it's got plenty of charm and character. Several reviewers mentioned enjoying the unique southwestern culture that sets Taos apart from typical Colorado resorts. The après options have expanded as the resort has grown, though prices can be on the steeper side - expect to pay $6-8 for a beer. It's worth noting that you'll find more affordable options in nearby Arroyo Seco or the town of Taos.
#2 Angel Fire Resort - Après-Ski Rating
Après-Ski at Angel Fire Resort offers a pleasant wind-down after a day on the slopes. Our reviewers mention that while it's not the flashiest scene, the resort makes up for it with friendly vibes and good places to eat. One Snomad community member liked the fireworks and evening shows during the holidays, making it particularly special for families. The area's laid-back approach to après means you can relax without the pressure of a high-energy party scene. It's worth noting that some users feel dining options are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly if you're after specific culinary choices.
