Taos Ski Valley, NM, Announces Winter 2026-27 Season Passes With Pass Assurance Included For The First Time Ever

For the first time ever, Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico, is offering pass assurance for the upcoming ski season.

Following the resort’s announcement of the start of 2026-27 pass sales, which include 6 different pass options, Taos also announced they would be including pass assurance during their spring pass sale.

The risk-free cancellation policy allows pass buyers to receive a full refund for any pass until October 31.

After that, passholders can receive a full or partial credit for passes returned between November 1, 2026 and March 1, 2027.

Spring pass sales also give skiers and riders a “buy now, ride now” privilege. All passes purchased this spring will give access to the mountain for the remainder of the season.

CEO of Taos Ski Valley John Kelly says that “Our Spring Pass Sale has always been the best time to lock in a Taos season pass, and this year we’re raising the bar.” Following a dry winter in the Southern Rockies, passholders can buy in confidence knowing they can be refunded in the event of a dry winter or other circumstance that hinders the ability to ski.

Taos has made choosing a season pass easy. The 6 different pass options allow buyers to choose based on price, blackout dates, and resort access.

The Kachina Plus allows for unlimited skiing and riding at Taos and includes an Ikon Base pass. The Kachina allows for unlimited skiing and riding at Taos and includes 2 unguided ski days at Silverton.

Other pass options include the Taos base pass, weekday pass, and 5 pack options.

Renowned for its beauty and extreme terrain, Taos is still independently owned. Preserving the same local feel it’s had for over 60 years.

Continuing to expand its customer benefits sets it apart from many pass conglomerates that make returning unused season passes difficult. Taos’s approach puts the customer first and highlights their understanding that not all winter seasons go as planned.

Taos Ski Valley has a projected closing date of April 5, 2026, making now the perfect time to explore the mountain with beautiful springtime conditions.
