Taos, New Mexico December 3, 2009:
In preparation for the coming winter season – and considering the unknowns of the economy and snowfall – a select group of optimistic Taos and Taos Ski Valley hoteliers are packaging ski and snowboard vacations in every price range. The continuously updated list of offerings is only posted online, at www.TaosPillowPackages.com.

For the cost-conscious, discounts on ski vacation packages range from the famous “Taos Ski Better Weeks” that combine lodging, lift tickets, lessons, and gourmet meals at slope-side ski lodges to “Last Minute Specials” for those who are waiting for fresh powder before they book a getaway.
Sample ski packages:
• “Pillow & Powder Package” – one night for two with lift tickets at historic adobe B&B starts at $346 per couple
• Ski Week Package on slope, 7 night/6 day with lessons and dinners, $1460 per person early and late season
• Stay on slope four nights and get the fifth night free

In case the snow is less than anticipated, these lodgers are also packaging art and cultural vacations that include museum tickets, art workshops, and spa treatments. Taos’ status as an art colony, along with its tri-cultural history and mystical, soul-enriching mystique gives the tourist more reason to visit than simply the stunning slopes of the Taos ski mountain.
Sample in-town packages:
• Romantic 2-night weekend on Taos Plaza, with dinners, massages, champagne, $619 per couple
• Stay near the Plaza for two nights, get third night free

The TaosPillowPackages.com website also offers a “Design Your Own Taos Winter Vacation” sweepstakes. The winner will choose between a Ski Vacation or an Art Workshop Vacation, with three nights lodging for two at a choice of hotels. Two dinners for two, museum passes to all five Taos museums and a private tub for two and day use at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs & Resort are included in the prize.
