| Sandia Peak Ski Area is a family area located in the Cibola National
Forest approximately 30 minutes from Albuquerque, N.M. Experience the
drama of an 11,000 square mile panoramic view of New Mexico from the World's
Longest Tramway. From the base to the top of 10,378 foot Sandia Peak, time and
terrain seem to move in harmony as passengers lift from the desert floor, above
canyons and lush forests, to the mountain top - 2.7 miles of sky-view travel
and discovery of New Mexico's varied landscape and life zones. With numerous
trails covering 200 skiable acres, Sandia Peak offers an excellent learning
environment for the novice/beginner skier as well as some of the longest cruising
terrain for intermediates available in the state.
Snowboarding is allowed at the area on all trails. Rentals
and lessons are available daily. Workshops are scheduled throughout the season.
Cross-country skiers can enjoy 47 km of trails in the Cibola National Forest
at the top of the mountain. Trails may be accessed via Sandia Peak Tramway or
Highway 536 to the Crest. PSIA-certified instructors offer full- or half-day
alpine, snowboard and telemark lessons. The Cubby Corner Ski School for children
4 to 6 years of age offers children their own surface lift, warming hut and
restrooms. A licensed day care facility is located within a few miles of the
ski area. |
