Sangre de Cristo Mountain Works
New Mexico ski areas
New Mexico is home to some of the spiciest skiing and snowboarding in the west. For what we can sometimes lack in snow we make up for with a great variety, inexpensive tickets and incredibly varied terrain spanning down home funky skiing to world class funky skiing in Taos. New Mexico is home to what I call Ski Gems such as Pajarito Mountain , Sipapu and our local hill Ski Santa Fe. All small but unique and awesome places to put some wax in your tracks.
