Skiing in Santa Fe is world class. The Santa Fe ski basin has something for everyone - novice, intermediate and lots of challenging black diamonds. At 12,500 feet, you can see 4 states from the summit of the mountain, and the view is magnificent. They also have the best Green Chile Chicken Stew in town! During the week, the slopes are all yours.
There are a variety of rafting trips in the area, some for the adventurer who loves the thrill and terror of a ride over rapids! However, there are also some for the family to enjoy together. The rafting season lasts from April to October and includes many trips that are peaceful and placid, some include fishing, others provide visits to areas of interesting rock formations and petroglyphs, and still others drift to river side restaurants for a leisurely meal. Check the yellow pages under "river trips" for the possibilities. (Courtesy of Sangre de Cristo Mountain Works)
