There are a lot of good reasons to live in Santa Fe. But one of my favorites is for the snow skiing and there are a lot of choices when doing so. An hour and a half from Santa Fe is Taos Ski Valley, and in 2 hours you can be at both Angel Fire Resort or Red River ski areas. But for us Santa Feans, Ski Santa Fe is just a 15 mile drive from the Plaza at Santa Fe boasting some of the best skiing in the Southwest. Just another way to enjoy the Gay Life in Santa Fe.
