HURRY, ONLY WEEKS MONTH LEFT TO BUY YOUR MILLENNIUM PASS

Can you feel it in the air? The nights are cooler, the green chili is nearly ready for harvest and you are starting to wonder where you put your fuzzy socks at the end of last season. What does all this signal? That it is time to buy your Millennium Pass! Taos� supreme pass deal is on sale until October 6th, so go to the website and download the forms or head on up to TSV, but do it now!

Taos Ski Valley's motto has always been; better, not bigger. And what could be better than a great deal? This years Millennium pass is a better deal than ever before, with even more value, fewer Taos blackout days and bonus ski days at participating Colorado resorts. The only blackout dates that will apply are December 26-31, 2006, that means the pass is good President�s weekend and during Spring Break. The cost is $500 for 70 days of skiing plus the exciting exchange program privilege allows pass holders three free days of skiing at Crested Butte, Durango Mountain Resort, Copper and Telluride. Anyone who plans to ski the Southwest (nine days or more at Taos or seven days or more in Colorado) this season would be making a big mistake by not buying one.

For young folks, who just can�t get enough snow time, Taos Ski Valley is offering a Youth and College pass for skiers 7 years old through college. The cost for the pass is just $300 and it can be purchased until January 19, 2007. Like the Millennium pass it is good for 70 days of skiing and is blacked out from December 26-31, 2006. However, unlike the Millennium pass it is not valid for the 12 days of skiing in Colorado.

If seventy days of skiing sounds dreamy, but unrealistic, you can still get a great discount on the Southwest�s best skiing by buying a Taos Card. The Taos Card is a direct to lift card, which charges you twelve dollars off the daily rate, right at the lift. Even better, every seventh time you use your Taos Card is free. You also get discounts at many different places in Taos Ski Valley, including the Children�s Ski School, Rhoda�s Restaurant and several area lodges. There is no deadline to buy the Taos Card, and with just a few days of skiing it pays for itself.

If 70 days just isn't enough, the Taos Full Pass has no blackout dates and unlimited ski days. As a way to sweeten the deal, Millennium, Full Pass, and Taos Card holders also receive: $5 off single Adult Ski School Group lessons; 15% off entrees, beer and wine at Rhoda's Restaurant; 10% off purchases at Taos Ski & Boot; $10 off ski demos from Taos Ski & Boot; $10 off full ski tunes at TSV repair shop (every 7th tune free); and free summer lift rides. Don�t delay, go to our web-site and download the Millennium Pass, Full Pass, or Taos Card application today.
