Sandia Peak

Rising dramatically from the high desert landscape, Sandia Peak ski resort commands the eastern edge of Albuquerque. At 10,378 feet, this distinctive destination combines scenic southwestern terrain with exceptional skiing and snowboarding opportunities. The resort's unique position offers visitors the rare experience of morning ski runs followed by afternoon rounds of golf in the city below.

Four chairlifts serve Sandia Peak's varied terrain, efficiently connecting 35 trails across the mountain face. The lift network provides access to 200 acres of skiable terrain, with the main quad chairlift climbing 1,700 vertical feet, offering skiers and riders expansive views of the Rio Grande Valley and the desert landscape stretching toward the horizon.
