Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort will kick off New Mexico’s 2025-26 ski season on Friday, November 21, marking the state’s first resort opening of the winter. Located in the scenic Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the family-friendly resort will welcome guests just in time for Thanksgiving week skiing and snowboarding.
“We’ve used this extended window of fair weather to continue construction on our new Lift 3 project,” said John Paul Bradley, General Manager. “The excellent weather conditions have allowed us to conduct construction ahead of schedule, and we’re excited to welcome guests for what promises to be an excellent ski season.”
The new Lift 3 represents a major infrastructure improvement for the resort, enhancing the skiing experience for families and guests of all skill levels. For information on the new lift, click here.
