With only 200 acres of terrain and some seriously vintage lifts, Sandia Peak is no Taos. That said, the proximity of New Mexico's oldest ski resort to town and the budget lift tickets makes this a decent choice for beginners. Drive here via Hwy 536 (Sandia Crest Rd), or take the Sandia Peak Tramway ($65, including lift ticket).
