Lift Tickets

SERP is working to bring back more discounts for 23/24!

Where did all the lift ticket discounts go?

Many resorts now operate with dynamic pricing. Because of this, most are unable to offer a discount as prices are constantly changing. SERP features deals as they become available, but our best advice is to buy your tickets in advance.  Employees and their dependents can also join one of the subsidized group activities available from the Sandia Snowriders group.

23/24 DISCOUNTS:

Monarch Mountain: Save up to 40% off the daily lift ticket price. Visit the promo codes page for details!

Snow Reports:

• New Mexico
• Colorado
• Arizona
• California

Be sure to check out the Ski and Snowboard Shop at KAFB Outdoor Recreation for rentals, repairs and tune ups. Open seasonally.
