We're going to be driving across Arizona and New Mexico in a couple of week and
I'm trying to talk my wife into doing some skiing along the way. We tried Taos a few
years ago and my wife didn't like it. Few runs off each chair meant crowed runs.
We're looking at:
Arizona:
Arizona Snow Bowl by Flagstaff
Sunrise Park
Mt. Lemmon by Tucso
New Mexico:
Sandia Peak by Alburquerque
Ruidoso Ski Apache
Ski Santa Fel
Ski Pajarito by Los Alamos
Any constructive comments are welcomed.


I skied the Sunbowl. From the summit you can see the southern rim of the
Grand Canyon which, I believe, is about 80 miles to the North. The drive
from Pheonix to Flagstaff is very scenic. We were there on Thanksgiving
weekend and they already had 50++ inches of snow. The Sunbowl is divided
in two, on one half you've got advanced trails and a 2000 ft vertical
and on the other half you have a 1000 ft (guess) drop and blue cruisers.
I wouldn't recommend it for a skiing vacation unless you want to make it
part of a general trip to Arizona. My family has ties to Pheonix and my
wife loves Arizona, so I'm sure I'll be back.
