Parks and Pipes - The two terrain parks at Sipapu change each year with new features added throughout the season. The low-key attitude is perfect for beginners looking to build their skills, and the lack of crowds allows everyone to spend more time at the parks, not in line. Every season, Sipapu carefully plans and develops their parks to give guests an unforgettable experience. Plus, Sipapu ensures their playgrounds are ready both early and late in the season, so when other resorts are still working on their parks, you'll be hucking at Sipapu.
Sipapu's two terrain parks include:
Beginner and Advanced Lines: Created for all skill levels, our features flow smoothly together also giving you room for creativity!
Rails and Boxes: Sipapu offers both straight and rainbow rails, A-frame boxes and small and large bread boxes.

Natural Terrain Park Features: The mountain's unique terrain allows you catch air everywhere, not just in our terrain parks.
Out of Bounds - When you're ready to relax away from the slopes, you can enjoy a variety of shops and eateries in both Sipapu and nearby Taos. But you can stay in Sipapu and enjoy spa treatments at the resort, like facials, deep tissue massage, mountain massage, salt scrubs and reflexology treatments. As an added luxurious convenience, you can enjoy these right in your room at Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort.
Hangout & Hookup - There's a café that is a great place for New Mexican dining, where you can enjoy dishes from porterhouse steaks to traditional New Mexican fare.

A great place where families gather après-ski is in front of the fireplace in the main lodge.
