Guess what! We still have an entire month to get out there and make some snow tracks!

And thanks to Mother Nature’s perfectly-timed and generous storm cycles throughout February, there is plenty of snow on the mountains! Ski Santa Fe now has an 85 inches base and over 165 inches this season, all the NM ski areas reported new snow fall last week from 5- 15" and more is on the way this week!
