A Legacy of Mountain Hospitality Since 1965

For over half a century, Sipapu has been Taos's trusted destination for skiers, golfers, hikers, and travelers seeking an authentic High Desert experience. What began as a modest ski area has grown into a full mountain resort — without ever losing the warmth and personal touch that defines a true family retreat.

Perched at 9,000 feet on the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sipapu offers sweeping views, crisp alpine air, and a sense of calm that only high country can provide. Whether you're carving fresh powder in January or watching a desert sunset from the golf course in July, every season reveals a different face of this remarkable landscape.
