Terrain parks

1 · a list of their own, outside the run count

    Names and difficulty: Taos Ski Valley — Weather & Webcams, What's Open (skitaos.com, read Sep 29, 2026); Taos Ski Valley — Winter trail map (Winter24) (skitaos.com, 2024-25 map, the newest the resort posts, read Sep 29, 2026). A run only the status list names, not the trail map, says so.

    Lines, lengths and verticals where a run is drawn: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL, via OpenSkiMap (Sep 28, 2026); measured by Aurora from the mapped line, not the resort’s figures. On the map, glades and bowls are areas: OpenStreetMap’s own where it maps one, else drawn by Aurora around its line, edges approximate.
