Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort will begin its ski operations for the season beginning Thursday, December 10. Day tickets must be purchased ahead online at sipapu.ski beginning at 5 PM, December 8. The resort will not be selling tickets at the ticket window.

This order is effective Monday, November 16th through Monday, November 30th. As a result, Sipapu will not be open for skiing November 20th thru November 30th. Sipapu’s lodging continues to operate at 25% capacity, and our convenience store and gas station remain open as essential businesses with reduced capacity.

Sipapu has postponed its opening day until the Governor’s office authorizes our reopening. We understand this is disappointing news. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and grace as we navigate the ...
