This is a spectacular resort perfect for anyone interested in a great day of skiing. The terrain is very all around for every type of skier. This resort is hidden so it does not get the crowds that you would expect it to. The back-country is something that should be checked out.

Skiing Pajarito - Originally developed as a place for scientists to ski when they weren't developing the atomic bomb, Pajarito ski area is a unique palace in the pines that overlooks the multicolored Rio Grande rift valley. Every run is steep, and I can even quote my hero, Glen Plake, saying so. The snow of course it dry as a bone, and since it is hidden deep in the Jemez mountains near the tiny city of Los Alamos, the crowds stay away. This ensures deep powder skiing for everybody that comes. The backside of it is illegal, I'm pretty sure, so don't tell anyone I told you about it- but it's phenomenal and a short hike off of the top chairlift. From the bottom is another story. Pajarito, along with her stunning views and dry powder, has tons of varied terrain and a wonderful ambiance of wild isolation... just ask Dean Cummings, who grew up skiing Pajarito..
