Family owned and operated since its beginning in 1952, Sipapu is proud to be a small, family oriented ski and summer resort in an intimate setting offering modest prices. Nestled in the Sangre de Christo Mountains along the Rio Pueblo, Sipapu is surrounded by the Pecos Wilderness and the Carson National Forest. With facilities for groups of 2 to 260 ... we are able to graciously host your corporate gathering, retreat, family reunion or wedding.

22 scenic miles southeast of Taos, New Mexico, Sipapu offers short lift lines and varied terrain for downhill skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing. Sipapu offers private and group snowboarding and skiing lessons for both adults and children.

In the summer, our ski mountain is transformed into Sipapu Disc Golf Course which has been written up as "one of the top 5 scenic courses in the country, if not the world."

During the summer and fall, there is an abundance of activities at or near the resort including fly-fishing, horseback riding, hiking, biking, rafting, and rock climbing along with motorcycle rallies and Arts & Crafts fairs. A myriad of informational and instructive workshops, ranging from the art of painting to the art of fly-fishing, are held at the lodge throughout the summer.

In late Fall the shadows of the sun start to lengthen and the aspen leaves start turning gold. It's time to enjoy the warm afternoons of another Sipapu Indian Summer, when the pace slows and the forest is at its peak of serenity.

Sipapu Reviews & Tips (4)

Sipapu is a hidden gem, especially for families. Not a lot of green trails, but plenty of variety on the blues that range from almost-green to almost-black. Great snowmaking and grooming means most trails stay open all year. But the biggest plus is the friendly and helpful staff. From the guy running the lift to the girl serving your hot chocolate, they all are like old friends or co-workers you haven't seen in a while, and they're glad to see you again. And the deals! You can stay and ski a week here for the price of two days at one of the swanky resorts. If you want fancy, go somewhere else. If you want friendly, this is where to be.

Stay away from Sipapu so that I can have all the fun powder, no lift lines, and friendly ski area. Seriously, this is a diamond that no one knows about. I have been to alot of places but I love Sipapu for the quiet beauty and great prices and NO LIFT LINES!

Sipapu is easily my favorite place to go. The snow is not stellar and the place is not loaded with 5 star amenities, but I never wait for lifts, both staff and guests are extremely relaxed, and I can get a lift ticket and lodging combined for less than just one of those would cost me anywhere else. More days on the slopes with more money in my pocket? I choose Sipapu every time. Its not loaded with challenging terrain, so i just find different ways to challenge myself.

Family friendly ad NOT CROWDED. I have taken kids for ski clubs for 15 years and never had a problem. Low prices, good ski instructors. I think the ski snobs go to Taos and this is nearby, so the place is under-used. The firsaid people took good care of a student who was hurt.
