Sandia Peak Winter Readiness Updates
January 9th: Delayed Opening Day
Despite sharing news yesterday that we were scheduled to open, we’ve encountered an issue during final opening-day checks that must be fully resolved before operations can begin. We sincerely apologize for the change in plans. For those who purchased tickets for January 10th, you will be receiving a credit shortly. This credit can be towards a future purchase at Sandia Peak or any other Power Pass mountain. Questions: [email protected].

The team powered up the snowmaking system for the first time this winter as a planned test run to check equipment and confirm everything is working properly.
