Located 20 miles southeast of Taos and two hours north of Albuquerque, Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort has been known for its Family-Friendly, Family Fun since 1952. Northern New Mexico’s oldest ski resort, Sipapu was founded by Lloyd and Olive Bolander and continues to be a family-owned and operated resort today.
Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort is New Mexico’s fastest growing resort (yet you won’t wait in line for a lift). Both first-time and returning guests alike appreciate the quintessential mountain life found only at Sipapu: a fun, friendly mountain (where your kids won’t get lost, perfect for skiers and boarders of all skill levels); clean, simple accommodations (no in-room TVs or phones – we believe families should connect with each other, not over their electronics; cable TV is available in the lodge and cell service is usually available throughout the property); and the best deals around, which allows everyone to have the family vacation they want at prices they can easily afford.
Our resort also offers the following not-so-common ammenities:
• The Riverside Cafe, featuring New Mexico’s best riverside dining
• Slopeside lodging, including cabins, suites, our historic lodge and more
• The world-class Sipapu disc golf course, ranked as one of the top 5 courses in the country
• Trout fishing located steps from our cozy accommodations
And more. So, grab your gear and discover for yourself why Sipapu is the fastest growing resort in New Mexico.
New Mexico’s fastest growing resort, Sipapu is home to New Mexico’s longest ski season and the best deals in the Rockies. Surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Carson National Forest, the resort has over 40 trails, four lifts and two terrain parks.
