Exploring Santa Fe: Skiing, Dining, and New Year's Eve Fun

[Chef Kearns]

My husband and I are taking a trip there from Dec. 31st through Jan 3rd. We've heard there is skiing. We don't want to buy gear (I've gained a bit since we last went skiing) or lug it with us. I know some places rent out the gear. However, besides skiing or snow activites what else is there to do in Santa Fe? Were would you eat? What would you do on New Year's Eve?

Any ideas or suggestions are aprreciated!! Thanks!

Nah, by the time I got to ride on the Santa Fe, it was Amtrak. Sigh.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7f/Super_Chief.jpg/350px-Super_Chief.jpg

C'mon, somebody has to have been there recently. It's been about a dozen years since I went to Albuquerque and Santa Fe.(It took me so long to learn how to spell "Albuquerque" that I like to mention Albuquerque any time the subject of Albuquerque comes up. Okay, I know this is about Santa Fe and not Albuquerque but you have to fly into Albuquerque if you're going to Santa Fe.)

Santa Fe is a wonderful town! If you love to shop there are plenty of places in and around the Plaza. There are also numerous museums, including the Georgia O'Keefe museum - some charge a small entry fee. There are many, many places to get great food. Blue Corn Cafe, Tomasitas (great chili), Maria's, The Restaurant at the Inn at Loretta (and Loretta Chapel is a must see). Chili is a staple throughout NM and everyone has their own and make it differently. Red or Green is the question and you can combine them by asking for "Christmas". Depending on where you are staying you might ask them about New Year's activities or check-out SantaFe.com - Your source for Lodging, Arts, Culture, and all things Santa Fe, New Mexico!. Enjoy!

I've never been, but my aunt and uncle used to live there. I'll ask them for suggestions.
