Follow Along With All Of Our Enhancements This Summer

Just because the snow has melted doesn’t mean our crew rests. All summer long, the Sandia Peak team is hard at work laying the groundwork for an even better winter season ahead. This blog is your go-to spot for real-time updates on everything we’re doing to keep improving the guest experience, protect our mountain’s environment, and ensure our operations run smoothly all season long.


From preventative lift maintenance to snowmaking upgrades, we're thinking ahead—way ahead—to give you the best winter possible. Check back often as we roll out updates on the big (and small) projects shaping the future of skiing and riding at Sandia Peak.


May 1st Update: Cutting Edge Maintenance, Snowmaking Enhancements, and Improving Your Experience



Our team has kicked off the summer season with one goal in mind: making next winter better than ever, starting now.


Chairlifts

We're currently deep into a cutting-edge preventative maintenance program for our lifts. This goes far beyond the industry standard. By using advanced diagnostic tools and in-depth analysis, we’re gaining a clear understanding of each lift’s current performance, so we can ensure they're ready to roll, not just for opening day, but for the entire season. This forward-thinking approach means you can focus on what really matters—getting as many laps as possible!


Snowmaking

Meanwhile, we're turning our attention to creating a longer winter season with more consistent snow conditions. This summer we’re stepping it up. We’re exploring new technologies to improve our snowmaking pond systems—protecting our water from evaporation so we can make more snow during the season. This project is setting us up for a more powerful start to snowmaking this fall, so we can open at an even earlier date, keep our season going longer, and give you more time to have fun!


Guest Services

We’re also taking a close look at your experience from the moment you arrive. Right now, our team is evaluating and reworking the base area to make it easier to navigate, find services, and get to the lifts with less hassle. Whether it’s improved wayfinding or a smoother flow from the parking lot to the chairlift, these upgrades are all about getting you on the snow quicker and with less stress.


Winter Doesn’t Have To Wait With The Power Pass

Summer doesn’t have to mean the end of your season. With the Power Pass and Power Pass Select, your 2025/26 pass unlocks 10 FREE interconnected days of skiing at Valle Nevado and La Parva in Chile—home to the largest ski resort network in the Southern Hemisphere—plus unlimited access to Spider Mountain Bike Park right here in the U.S.


Even better? The Power Kids Pass is still completely FREE and includes unlimited biking at Spider Mountain, Pajarito, Brian Head, and Lee Canyon, plus summer skiing in Chile. Grab their pass now and give them a full year of adventure—on us.


Don’t wait—our interest-FREE payment plan makes it easy to lock in your pass today, but monthly payments go up after May 14th. Split it into nine easy installments and start using it right away, all while we prep the mountain for your return next winter.
