Sandia Peak Ski Area is a New Mexico-based ski resort that was out of operation since 2022.
But now, officials of the resort were able to announce, “We are open! Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the fresh snow and for making opening weekend so special!”
In a previous article detailing the situation, Ian Greenwood of POWDER explained that Sandia Peak struggled to remain open during previous seasons because of staffing shortages and weather challenges.
