Sandias Winter Magic: 2025 Peak Season Adventure Guide

At the Sandi Pressley Team, we live and breathe all things Albuquerque! We’ve been helping our clients discover Albuquerque and their dream homes for more than 30 years, and nothing gets us more excited than sharing the hidden gems of our beloved Sandia Mountains during the peak winter season. Trust us when we say there’s something magical about our local winter wonderland. Even longtime residents continue to discover new things.
The Sandias conditions are perfect for skiing enthusiasts and winter hiking adventurers. At Sandia Peak, we’re seeing some of the best snow coverage in years, with fresh powder drawing visitors across the Southwest. The recent storms have blessed us with an impressive 36-inch base at the summit – perfect for carving those early morning runs.
As your local experts (and avid outdoor enthusiasts), we’ve been up and down these slopes more times than we can count. The best part? You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy what the Sandias offer. It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time skier who needs lessons at the Sandia Peak Ski Area or an experienced backcountry explorer ready to tackle the Ellis Trail; there’s an adventure waiting for everyone.


Are you a hiker? Don’t let the snow fool you into thinking the trails are off-limits. Winter hiking in the Sandias offers challenging hikes and the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see. On a clear winter day, you can see Santa Fe, with the winter sun casting long shadows across the snow-covered landscape. The La Luz Trail is particularly stunning this time of year, though we always recommend proper winter gear and checking conditions before heading out.
For those new to winter mountain activities, we’ve got your back. Stop by our office, and we’ll point you toward the best rental shops, share our favorite routes, and give you insider tips only locals know. Want to know the best time to hit the slopes to avoid crowds? Or where to grab that perfect cup of hot chocolate after a day of adventure? We’ve got all the intel you need.
Sandia Mountain winters aren’t just about the activities—they’re about experiencing Albuquerque from a new perspective. As your neighborhood experts, nothing makes us happier than helping you discover your piece of winter magic in the Sandias. Magic mountain winters make our city unique, from the crisp mountain air to snow crunching underfoot.


If you want to learn more about Albuquerque winter activities or anything else about Albuquerque, we’re always here to chat. After all, sharing our love for this incredible city isn’t just our job—it’s our passion. It would be our pleasure to help, so give us a call, at (505) 263- 2173
Stay warm and adventurous, The Sandi Pressley Team
