2009-2010 Editorial: Skiing & Boarding Santa Fe Style

A light snow is blanketing the city of Santa Fe skiers and boarders look in the distance and see the snowcapped peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Nestled in those mountains at 10,000 feet is Ski Santa Fe one of the best kept secrets of New Mexico. The locals know and what visitors will discover is that the slopes will have “Powder” to ski and ride on tomorrow. This is just the beginning of a winter adventure you’ll want to repeat season after season. Seven lifts transport skiers and boarders to a top elevation of 12,075 feet and 69 trails on 660 acres challenge guests at all skill levels from double black diamond to green beginners. Powder, moguls, steeps and runs groomed to perfection by the best of the southwest are all there for your skiing and boarding pleasure. Skiers or Riders seeking fresh powder start your adventure on the Santa Fe Super Chief Quad and then head over to the Tesuque Triple Chairlift to make your “traks” on North or South Burn or down Tequila Sunrise Glade. Get your thrills on moguls then Columbine, Wizard and Molly Hogan off the Millennium Triple Chairlift is your destination. Variety they say is the “Spice of Life” hence Camp Robber is your goal featuring a little of everything.

On the lower level of La Casa Mall is a full service rental shop featuring skis, boots, poles, snowboards including special shaped skis and high performance skis and helmet rentals. The Wintermill Sports Shop is just next door carrying a variety of the top names in ski and snowboard apparel. The shop also has all of those essentials you may have forgotten from gloves and mittens to goggles, hats and the all important sunscreen.

To hone your existing skills or become a new member of the club PSIA Certified Instructors can be found at the Snowsports School and both group and private lessons are taught. The Burton Learn to Ride Center is a state of the art program for “Shredders” 12 years and up. Chipmunk Corner Children’s Center is ready to serve younger skiers and non-skiers. The “One Stop Learning” facility has skiing classes for youth 3 to 11 years and snowboarding classes for those 6 to 11 years in age. For visitors not yet ready to learn to ski, snowplay and day care are also part of this special facility for those as young as 2 months.

Ski Santa Fe’s French Chef gives a whole new meaning to ski area fare from specialty soups, New Mexican Cuisine, pastas and more to the always popular green chili cheeseburger it’s your choice at the La Casa Café or Totemoff’s at mid mountain.
