Pajarito Mountain

Pajarito Mountain is where performance skiers and snowboarders come for breathtaking views, great skiing, miles of runs and a laid back atmosphere. Located at the eastern edge of the Jemez Mountains in Northern New Mexico, 5 miles west of Los Alamos and just 90 minutes from Albuquerque and 45 minutes from Santa Fe. Pajarito hosts spectacular views of the Rio Grande Valley and the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Privately owned by the Los Alamos Ski Club and developed in the late 1950s, Pajarito now enjoys 40 named trails and has some of the best bump skiing in the state. Pajarito hosts a ski school, café, and rental facility and a large volunteer ski patrol. Pajarito Mountain is home to an extensive mountain biking trail system, including our renowned corkscrew run tucked away in the trees all served by lift during the summer and early fall. We also consistently host New Mexico Brew Fests with live music throughout the summer.
