About Cottam's Ski Shops
Cottam's Ski Shops is the oldest and most trusted ski rental operation in the Taos area, with roots stretching back to the earliest days of Taos Ski Valley. Family-owned and operated for decades, Cottam's has outfitted generations of skiers and snowboarders heading up the mountain, earning a loyal following among locals and returning visitors alike.
They offer a full range of ski and snowboard rental packages, from beginner setups to high-performance demo skis and shaped boards. Boot fitting is a specialty — their experienced staff takes the time to get the fit right, which makes a noticeable difference on the slopes. Seasonal lease programs are available for locals, and they stock helmets, goggles, and outerwear for those who need the full kit.
What keeps Cottam's relevant after all these years is their combination of competitive pricing, knowledgeable staff, and convenient locations. They operate shops both in Taos town and at the ski valley base, so renters can gear up wherever suits their schedule. The no-frills, service-first approach has made them a Taos institution.
