Because there is so much to see and do in New Mexico besides skiing and snowboarding, many of our visitors leave a day or two open for other kinds of snow play or to explore our great state's many unique attractions.

Maybe you'll want to try snow skating or snow-biking. Our National Forests provide thousands of acres of winter wonderland for tubing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and more.

If you need a break from snow, visit one of the nineteen Indian pueblos scattered across the state. Many schedule dances to celebrate Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter and other special events during the ski season.

Journey to historic santuarios erected by Spanish settlers during New Mexico's early colonial days.

Spend an afternoon browsing one of our renowned museums or shopping the charming galleries and boutiques that dot the streets of every ski town in the state.
