Resorts Ski-Santa-Fe
Area Profile
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, so when you ski or ride, be sure to save time for the town.
For a smallish resort, it has a wonderful range of terrain in average snow seasons, from isolated beginner slopes to lots of cruisers, some long bump runs, great glades and tree runs, and even a few short chutes and small bowls. The out-of-bounds but legal Big Tesuque run is a powder hound's delight that ends on a luge-like forested trail leading to the access road. Hitch back up or park a second vehicle at the turn-out. New for 2006/07: New Millennium Triple Chair.Lodging Profile
There's no lodging on the mountain, but 15 miles away in town you have a fabulous selection of small and large hotels (many with spas), motels, inns, and B&Bs, as well as wonderful dining options.
