PHOTO OF THE DAY - July 2, 2009

Life is beautiful - and never more so than on the mountain!
The upheaval in world economies over the past twelve months has touched us all. Our priorities and goals at the St. Bernard are to offer the best, honest value possible - in terms of quality of lifestyle, all-around warmth and fun. We are striving to make your ski/snowboard vacation as affordable, convenient and easy as possible, so that you are able to come and enjoy Taos Ski Valley and everything that we have to offer.
Here at the St. Bernard we are excited to be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year. It is with all of this in mind, together with our desire to show our appreciation to our guests, that we have decided to maintain our rates for the forthcoming season. Added to this, deposits will now be $1000 per room instead of $1500 per room.
Come - let's share the snow and the mountain together.

We hope that all snowboarders by now are tuned into the awesome experience that awaits them on our slopes. It has been incredible to witness the renewed energy that we have seen on the mountain since the introduction of snowboarding in March 2008, as well as the harmony that exists between our faithful skiers and our new friends from the snowboarding community. We are thrilled that our guests now have the choice of being able to either ski or snowboard.
The acclaimed Ernie Blake Ski School continues to provide a world-class experience. The ongoing dedication and commitment on the part of the ski school management, together with your host, Jean Mayer, as Technical Director of the school, provides all the inspiration that you need for your ski/snowboard vacation.
Last season saw the opening of the new North American run for experts, and The Burrough, which provides adventures for every level of skier and boarder. These were the latest additions to the large number of trails catering for all abilities.
