Ski Santa Fe Weather by Season

Winter

Spring

Freeze-thaw conditions can leave snow, mud and ice together on high routes. Seasonal judgment must account for lift wind, summit visibility, road ice, lightning and scheduled mountain operations.

Summer

Alpine mornings offer the best margin before lightning and hail develop above treeline. Seasonal judgment must account for lift wind, summit visibility, road ice, lightning and scheduled mountain operations.

Fall

Cold nights return early, with first snow possible while lower trails remain open. Seasonal judgment must account for lift wind, summit visibility, road ice, lightning and scheduled mountain operations.
