Lake Fork Peak

Starting out from the Williams Lake trailhead at Taos Ski Valley, this backcountry trip requires a 3-mile snow climb up to the top of Lake Fork Peak with a scenic and thrilling ski descent back down the northeast side of the mountain. The trail is heavily used all season so finding the trail should be pretty simple. There are multiple options and routes for the descent, some trickier than others, including a chute that can be a challenging thrill. Be sure to check current avalanche conditions before setting out.
