Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort Skigebiet Guide

By anyones standards, Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort is a small resort. Ideally suited to families, kids can ski safely by themselves as all runs end up back at the main base where there is a cafe/bar and room for kids to meet and socialise. The runs are well marked and clear as there is very little off-piste. The resort has good snowmaking facilities. However, water is a relatively scarce resource in New Mexico and towards the end of the season they do not bother if there is enough snow to cover the runs. Even at spring break the resort was quiet and friendly. Boarding and skiing in the trees is interesting but limited and even a moderate skier/boarder will have covered all the runs on the mountain within a few hours. Getting there takes a while and although the parking is free it is not a resort to go out of your way to visit. Hawaiian day and the Cardboard Derby are good fun for kids.
