New Mexico is often defined by its rose-colored deserts and sunny, dry climate, but the state is home to a widely diverse terrain, creating the opportunity for vacationers to experience a variety of classic winter activities and alternative mountain sports including alpine and Nordic skiing.

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico are some of the highest alpine peaks in the United States.  A sub range of the Rocky Mountains, the Sangre de Cristos offer alpine and cross-country skiing trails which overlook some of the most diverse terrain in the country.

New Mexico is an enchanting mountain vacation destination where guests of our Destination Mountain Collection property can experience the unique cultures of the area, shaped by Native American traditions and the expansive desert terrain.
