Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Lifts run 9 AM to 4 PM and night skiing is paused this season, so arrive before 9 AM for the first lift and plan to ski the morning.
- Buy online at least 3 calendar days ahead for advance pricing. For a Friday, book by the Monday 11:59 PM before. Walk-up tickets are always available but cost more.
- Parking is free and plentiful. Resort shuttles run from 7:30 AM to 5 PM between the lots, condos, and the ski base, so parking farther out and riding the shuttle avoids base-area congestion.
- Albuquerque is about 3 hours away and Santa Fe about 2.5 hours. Check road conditions before leaving, since mountain roads can close after snowfall.
