Is the Mountain Collective pass (3 days at Taos + 3 days at 50% off) the best way to get 6 days of Taos lift tickets for ski week? That works out to about $550, which I guess is about the same as just buying 6 days of Taos window tickets. Any tips on deals for Taos would be much appreciated.

ABasin- and Copper-only passes both include three Taos days. This is not guaranteed for next season, of course, but it's been that way for a couple years.
For someone who only wants to do a Taos Ski Week and doesn't want any sort of season pass that has Taos perks or the MCP, there is a Taos Card. My ski buddy JC found he would save a little even for only five days at Taos.Is the Mountain Collective pass (3 days at Taos + 3 days at 50% off) the best way to get 6 days of Taos lift tickets for ski week?

It is possible to ask for the same instructor in ski week if you have done it previously.
Are you sure? This was not what I heard from the instructors when I did the ski week in Jan. this year. At the line up, I overheard a conversation b/w two instructors, one told the another that: "We are not supposed to be doing that anymore. Students cannot request instructors, they would go with whomever they got assigned."
When I go back next season, I will make a request. Whether it will be granted or not, I guess I will see.
I didn't know it was "The" Jean Mayer!
Yea, I heard he is quite a living legend at TSV. Now I know what he looks like and where he'd be at ski off, next season when I go back, I ought to "check him out". Specifically, I want to see how graciously he glides away (as you described) after the ski off.
Yes, that's what I thought... BTW, from the picture, he is only using 1 pole???he might be in his 80's now..

His restaurant has the smell of a typical french restaurant.
Can have lunch at the St. Bernard any day. A couple of women in my group are St. Bernard regulars. They sat with the group for the final day lunch. So we got to see what they were being served as hotel guests. All three meals are included when staying at the St. B.His restaurant has the smell of a typical french restaurant.
Yep, I think his pole is behind him, so you can't see it. I agree with Nopoleskier, I cant' wait to go back!think the pole is hiding.. I think I see a shadow. I can't wait to go back...
