A day on the slopes can be perfectly punctuated with the right Après-Ski activity, and New Mexico resorts offer after-ski activities that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are 6 options for you to consider when you’re on your New Mexico Ski adventure.

Ten3 at Sandia Peak

Located at the top of Sandia Peak,Ten3 offers one of America’s most breathtaking dining experiences -10,300 feet above sea level! The ride is definitely part of the experience, so enjoy the tram on your way up to the restaurant. You have options for casual dining at the Lounge at the bar, or you can make dinner reservations if you’re looking for a fine dining experience. Both the casual dining and fine dining menus have plenty of tasty choices. Ten3 has a number of bottle and draft beer options, an extensive wine list, craft mixed drinks, and mocktails for anyone looking for a NA option.
