For any outdoor enthusiast who calls this incredible state home, a year outdoors is not complete without a trip to the slopes to shred some of the gnar in the Rocky Mountains. What better place to shred than Ski Santa Fe? A little more than an hour’s drive from hustle and bustle of New Mexico’s largest city, the resort still boasts some of the most affordable tickets, starting at $88 for a full day weekday ticket.

It’s the time of the year to treat yourself and reward yourself with a little extra love for another year of the pandemic. What better way to usher in the new year with sustainable soaps, fragrances and just about anything else that your body loves, harvested from New Mexico by the team at Dryland Wilds. The team of two is able to gather the majority of their products’ ingredients right from our own backyard. The products are available online as well as in a number of local stores and in the occasional craft market. (Dryland Wilds will be at the Rail Yard Holiday Market, Dec. 11 and 12.)
If you’re an outdoor person, or have ever been on the market for gear that can withstand all four seasons in one day, you know that it’s not cheap nor incredibly sustainable. The team at Outdoor Regear, located right here in Albuquerque, offers almost everything that you could possibly need, but at thrift shop prices. The store sells lightly used outdoor gear in a consignment-based marketplace.
