The Ski Resort of Sandia Peak, NM (not AZ) is already calling it quits for the 2012-2013 ski season. The resort has only received 32 inches of snowfall this season resulting in a base depth of just 14″. It has been such a dismal season that only the resort’s beginner lift and slope were able to open at all this year.
Sandia Peak typically has a shorter season than most ski areas but this season the resort will be closing a full month ahead of schedule.
The resort will remain at the ready to reopen the ski facility if the area receives a late season dump but the long range forecast is not looking too good.
All Southwestern states are basically the same, right? Arizona, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, just pick one and ski there.
Colorado and Utah the same as Arizona and New Mexico? With a name like Anonymous, I wouldn’t expect you to say anything smarter I guess…
arizona snowbowl has a base of 63″
but 36″ is poop
Sandia Peak is in New Mexico.
It’s in New Mexico
Sandia is in New Mexico, dudes.
Sandia Peak is in New Mexico…
Arizona? You better look at a map.
New Mexico, not Arizona, but that’s ok, no good reason for you to know where this one is, but the fine people of Albuquerque might take offense.
Look at a map!!!
Sandia peak is in NM
Nice scoop. Except that Sandia is in New Mexico, not Arizona.
I think you mean Sandia, Nm. That is the tram on the Albuquerque side. My parents live on the flanks of that mountain.
That is Sandia Peak, NM. Not AZ. They have some snowmaking, but not very much. It is difficult to get water to the top of a mountain in New Mexico. The tram in the photo you posted, goes from Albuquerque to the summit of the ski area, but all the skiing is on the backside, not under this tram.
Sandia Peak is in NM, not AZ.
Sandia Peak, New Mexico*
AZ?
It did snow today lol
Did someone say this was in New Mexico….
Wait….. So is Sandia Peak in Arizona or New Mexico?
Has anybody told you that Sandia Peak is in New Mexico yet?
Let’s see how many people can make the same comment that it is in New Mexico.
Geniuses, they said NM (not AZ,) as in NOT Arizona. Y’all need to learn to read before you start hatin’. Hot damn. You people are awfully wound up for being skiers/boarders/winter enthusiasts!
If you follow UN religiously you would have seen that when the post first dropped it said AZ!
Geez
NM, AZ, who cares. With 32″ it really doesn’t matter where this place is
New Mexico
Hey UN, just double checked. Sandia Peak is in NEW MEXICO not AZ!
soo we are all going to Mexico??
When it comes to writing stories for UN, some New Mexican, and some New Mexican’t.
I’m still not sure: AZ or NM?
UN trip to New Mexico in a week! Who all is going?
It isn’t in MN….I’m pretty sure of that…why do people think it is in MN…oh…wait….NM….
Ha Ha everybody’s a clown…flat dicks.
But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
The point is, how do you know the fairy isn’t a crazy glue sniffer? “Building model airplanes” says the little fairy; well, we’re not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that’s all it takes. The next thing you know, there’s money missing off the dresser, and your daughter’s knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.
what state is UN?
But isn’t Mexico hot, or is that why the new one gets no snow..
Sheriff Arpaio has annexed the resort from NM, and is now part of AZ, so that he can bust the move hippies for smoking the devils lettuce.
BWAHAHAHAHA! Best UN comment thread ever
I think I can help with this Pan/Pam situation
