THE BLAKE, TAOS SKI VALLEY Opened in 2017 and named for Taos Ski Valley founder Ernie Blake, the stylish 80-room ski-in, ski-out hotel and spa is 20 yards from the valley’s Lift 1. “The resort founders led with a European, traditional sense of hospitality,” says Rebecca Hagler, director of marketing for Taos Ski Valley.

Palmer says the bird appears to be a mature male.
