255 Mountain Trail
The 255 Mountain Trail route is already rolling seven days a week, connecting Santa Fe with Hyde Memorial State Park and Ski Santa Fe. Ride up for breathtaking views, hiking or a full day on the mountain—all without paying for gas or parking.
As an added bonus, when you ride the 255 Mountain Trail route to Ski Santa Fe, you’ll get a $5 discount token to use on lift tickets, ski school, gift shop items and select food services.
310 Red River
The 310 Red River route is also up and running, connecting you with one of northern New Mexico’s favorite mountain towns. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or just exploring Red River’s shops and restaurants, we’ll get you there comfortably and fare-free.
341 TSV Green
Starting December 20, the 341 TSV Green Route will be back for the season with a brand-new diesel hybrid electric bus. This upgraded vehicle offers a smoother, more comfortable ride with modern amenities and fresh Blue Bus branding. It’s a big step forward from the vehicle used in past years, giving riders a better experience from the moment they hop on.
The route will operate Wednesday through Sunday, providing reliable access to Taos Ski Valley’s world-class terrain.
