Ski Santa Fe is located high above what has become one of the top visitor destinations in the nation, the historic and artistic town of Santa Fe. The resort has a wonderful range of terrain for all levels. From isolated beginner slopes, groomed cruisers, long bump runs and tree skiing, there is something for everyone. For those that are more experienced, the out-of-bound Big Tesuque run is a powder hound's delight that ends on a luge-like forested trail leading to the access road. Take advantage of the 200 restaurants that offers every type of cuisine available.

Inside Scoop

Visitors staying in Santa Fe can catch the Blue Bus shuttle from multiple stops in the city. Be sure to explore this 400-year-old city with its many museums, shops and historical buildings

Chipmunk Corner provides ski lessons, rentals, snow play, lunch and rest for kids as well as day care for infants three months old to three years old. There is also a rental shop (very crowded on weekends and holidays), retail shop and large Adaptive Ski Program.

Great hill close to Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Never any lines, and there's plenty of good snow mid-season. You won't find epic powder bowls here but the tree skiing is great for expert skiiers. Lots of nice flowing greens near the bottom for beginners. Only downside is it's super windy at the top -…
