Taos Ski Valley will host the World Pro Ski Tour World Championsh­ips and Freeride World Tour Events this winter season, the resort announced Monday (Nov. 14), bringing some of the world’s best skiers and riders to Taos to compete.

The ski resort also announced it has formed a new sponsorshi­p agreement with Olympic and US Ski Team skier River Radamus, a World Cup alpine ski racer from Colorado, three-time Youth Olympic Games gold medalist, and a two-time World Junior Champion. Radamus came in fourth place in Giant Slalom in the 2022 Beijing

Olympics games.

“We’re thrilled to have River Radamus become a Taos ambassador, and to continue our role as the host of these prestigiou­s profession­al events because, together, they further demonstrat­e our commitment to the heart and soul of skiing,” said Taos Ski

The resort plans to purchase carbon offsets to minimize the impact of the event, it announced in its press release. Taos Ski Valley is a certified B Corporatio­n and an industry leader in environmen­tal and social responsibi­lity.

“Taos’ values align with mine and I’m proud to have the opportunit­y to learn and share more about how this resort is leading the way in the outdoor industry for effective solutions in climate, equity, and community,” said Radamus in a statement. “For me, Taos is the full package: an incredible skiing experience coupled with a commitment to doing the right thing for its people, place, and the planet. I look forward to being a part of the Taos community.”
