• Trail maintenance and erosion control
• Wildlife habitat protection
• Forest thinning for fire prevention
• Watershed protection
• Native vegetation restoration
Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource in New Mexico, and we take our responsibility to conserve it seriously. Our water management practices include efficient snowmaking systems, low-flow fixtures in all facilities, and careful monitoring of water use throughout our operations.
Community Engagement
Sustainability extends beyond our mountain operations to our role in the greater Santa Fe community. We partner with local organizations on environmental education, support youth outdoor programs, and encourage our guests to practice Leave No Trace principles.
Looking Forward
Environmental stewardship is an ongoing commitment. We continuously evaluate our operations, seek new technologies and practices that reduce our impact, and strive to be a leader in sustainable mountain resort operations. Our mountain depends on it, and so do the generations of skiers and snowboarders to come.
