New Mexico Ski Basins on track for November Opening

New Mexico’s ski experience is like no other. The combination of world-class mountains and unique, down-home atmosphere found in the Land of Enchantment is unmatched.

There’s a reason New Mexico’s nickname is the “Land of Enchantment.” No matter the season, it offers some of the most beautiful land and skyscape in the world. Like any vacation, your winter getaway really begins with getting to your destination. In a world of travel frustration, Albuquerque International Sunport is an oasis of calm in a sea of crisis. Step off the plane into the tile-and-adobe terminal and you may think you’ve landed in an art museum instead of an airport. By car, you’ll notice a lack of bumper-to-bumper traffic throughout the state. Why go skiing if it’s like commuting to work? The state is at the crossroads of two major interstates. The dry climate means the slopes are plenty snowy, but our roads are nearly always clear. Traveling to the slopes becomes just another chance to see the outrageously beautiful scenery—which changes from red canyons to piñon-covered hills to snowcapped peaks. No place else has such a diverse landscape.

Once at the mountain, you’ll notice the restful pace of getting here continues. Fabulous snow does not have to mean less-than-fabulous people. And the snow is fabulous. Lying at the southern end of the Rocky Mountains means plenty of shredder-deluxe dry powder dumps each season, perfect for everyone from absolute beginners to master carvers. Not to mention over 300 days of sunshine a year, with views often extending hundreds of miles. More information...
