| Overview of Pajarito Mountain |
Pajarito - open only Fridays-Sundays, on federal holidays and the Christmas holidays - sometimes serves up prodigous powder and also offers beautiful views of the Rio Grande Valley, and small crowds. Sitting above Los Alamos in the Jemez Mountains, it was for years the private stash of scientists and their families but has been open to the general public for some two decades. It appeals mostly to intermediate and novices, with little variation in pitch across its one long face, spiced by some tougher bump runs.
Activities
Snowboarding: Snowboarding is available on all trails and in untracked powder glades.
Cross Country Profile: An extensive XC trail system into the Santa Fe National Forest begins at the western end of the area's parking lot. Many more outstanding optios in the surrpounding Jemez Mountains, including the spectacular Jemez Caldera Special Use Area.
Lodging
No lodging is available at the ski area, but is found in nearby Los Alamos or White Rock, or farther away in Santa Fe.
Winter Recreation
Review the history of Los Alamos National Laboratory, birthplace of atomic weapons, at the Bradbury Science Museum. Nearby Bandelier Nation Monument contains fascinating pre-historic ruins, including cliff dwellings, hiking trails, birding. Ice skating at the Los Alamos Ice Rink. Local area restaurants and cafes offer a selection of southwestern dishes.
