Sipapu

Sipapu, with its 1,055 feet of vertical, offers a more intimate ski experience. While not boasting immense scale, it provides a pleasant landscape for those seeking to carve turns without the usual throngs. It is a place where one might find their rhythm, rather than chasing a grand adventure.

As part of a New Mexico journey, Sipapu makes a fine addition to a southern excursion. Consider it a prelude or a respite on a pilgrimage to Taos Ski Valley, a mere 31 miles distant. The drive between them is neither arduous nor spectacular, simply a passage through the landscape.

Lacking coverage on the common ski passes, Sipapu requires its own ticket. This often means less crowded slopes, a trade some find agreeable. Be prepared to purchase your entry directly, for no grand pass shall grant you passage here.
