Yes, they are closed today. They called yesterday and refunded lessons to those who had lessons scheduled for this week. Rumor is they are still trying to open tomorrow...

How terrible for those who had a ski week planned, I would just be completely devastated if I were on a ski trip and this happened. :(
Hopefully they can open asap.

Just happens that there are very high winds today, April 4. So there were likely to be wind holds and/or a delayed opening for TSV in any case. Hopefully the water line issues can be resolved before a decision needs to be made about re-opening on April 5. The link below is for the special update webpage that has a good FAQ.

" . . .
A similar crisis that began during the busy Christmas and New Year's holiday week left some upper village residents without water for days or even weeks, but did not force the resort to shut down. Like many small domestic water systems in rural New Mexico, the ski valley is facing the consequences of years of deferred maintenance and a historic lack of capacity and funding with which to replace its aging infrastructure.
The village disclosed the most recent water system failure on Saturday night, when officials asked residents, businesses and visitors to conserve water in order to try and maintain water pressure.

Not about the 2022-23 season since TSV closed on April 9, but worth noting now because it will impact the 2023-24 season for those who read this thread when planning for next season.
TSV is replacing Lift 4 and the Pioneer lift this summer. Don't know details yet. This summer, that will be a major focus for John Kelly, who was promoted recently.

"Taos Ski Valley, N.M., April 13, 2023—Taos Ski Valley promoted vice president of operations John Kelly to chief operating officer. As COO, Kelly will expand his purview to oversee all aspects of the day-to-day operation of the resort, with a focus on enhancing the year-round Taos experience.
Among Kelly’s initial projects will be overseeing the replacement of two chairlifts this summer: the Pioneer lift and Lift 4. He will also work on programs and initiatives to build out the resort experience on-mountain and off, including pre-arrival and après ski offerings.
. . .
Kelly has been with Taos Ski Valley since 2015, during which time he has overseen on-mountain and base area operations as well as skier services. Upon graduation from the University of Tennessee in 2004 with a finance degree, Kelly began his tenure in the ski industry at Deer Valley, Utah, as a lift operator. He then moved to Telluride Ski Resort, where he gained more responsibility over 10 seasons while also earning his MBA from Colorado State University, before joining Taos Ski Valley as director of operations.
