Taos Ski Valley, one of the state's most well-known ski areas, is trying to encourage youngsters to hit the hill through a number of programs with specifically lower costs.

"And we're trying to find ways to create programs that meet whatever budget or sometimes no budget for the youth, across New Mexico."

Some of the innovative programs at Taos Ski Valley include the Charles N.Romero Snowsports Program for Pueblo Youth, in which students from the Taos Pueblo community in grades 4-12 can ski for free for five days, including lift tickets, clothing and equipment rentals, and full or half-day lessons.
