Only 8.0% of winter days see more than 6 inches of snowfall, which means, on average, you'll have to spend 10 days or more mining the slopes at Sipapu Ski Resort to score that one great day.

Skiing at Sipapu Ski Resort is about getting outside, ripping up the slope, eating chili dogs and getting in as much vertical as you can. It's not about big dumps. And that's okay. This place is about honing your skills for that trip to Snowbird or Alaska. With only 1.0% of months at Sipapu Ski Resort getting more than 90 inches of snow, this isn't the place to set up your powderhound shack.
If you're okay with spending more than two hours in the car, then the trip from the Albequerque airport to the slopes, which takes 144 minutes, shouldn't bother you. If you're trying to be super efficient, look elsewhere.
