Snowboard New Mexico - Sandia Peak Ski Area
This resort is cool because of the aerial tram that takes you from the very bottom to the very top of the mountain which is about 2.7 miles. It also has some great skiing for all levels. The snow could be better on most days, this would be the biggest downfall of this resort. Many people will agree with the prices a little outrageous and the wait for the lifts is not the greatest either. Sandia is really close to a town that offers everything you will need from lodging to food and to a happenin’ night life. You and your whole family shall enjoy an excellent ski vacation here.

For the prices being so high it seems that the rest of the resort doesn’t really make up for it. The ski patrol are friendly but it seems as if they barely know what they are doing. The terrain does tend to get icy because of the shade that the trees give off. The lodge is nice but it definitely could be way nicer. Sandia Peak makes a great day trip.
