What is Sandia Cash?

Why do prices change?
We use variable pricing — book early for the lowest rate. Prices rise as your ski date gets closer and demand grows.
Do I need a lift ticket for everything?
Yes. A valid lift ticket or season pass is required to access the lifts and mountain terrain. Sandia has 4 lifts: 3 chairlifts and a Magic Carpet.
How do rentals and lessons work?
Reserve rentals and lessons online ahead of time. First-timers can bundle a Magic Carpet ticket, a beginner lesson and rentals with the Never-Ever Experience.
What is RFID?
Sandia is moving to hands-free RFID lift access this season. Passes are no longer mailed — pick up your RFID card on your first visit.
Do kids really ski free?
Yes. Kids 12 and under ski free with the FREE Power Kids Pass at Sandia and 8 other Power Pass mountains.
