Sipapu Ski Area

Sipapu Ski Area

Family owned and operated since its beginning in 1952, Sipapu is proud to be a small, family oriented ski and summer resort in an intimate setting offering modest prices. Nestled in the Sangre de Christo Mountains along the Rio Pueblo, Sipapu is surrounded by the Pecos Wilderness and the Carson National Forest. With facilities for groups of 2 to 260 we are able to graciously host your corporate gathering, retreat, family reunion or wedding.

22 scenic miles southeast of Taos, New Mexico, Sipapu offers short lift lines and varied terrain for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing. Sipapu offers private and group snowboarding and skiing lessons for both adults and children.

It's the skiing that really makes this a special place. Four lifts spread skiers across 38 runs that snake through towering ponderosa pine, blue spruce and fir trees.

It's a woodsy skiing experience, although at times the runs open out into delightful meadows where you'll see squirrels, rabbits, deer, and elk.
