How to ski a powder day: Ski Santa Fe's summit elevation is 12,075 feet, but the tree line reaches about seven feet above that. Bring skis that can handle tight trees and hucking cliffs—there will be a lot of both. At the start of the day, take the Millennium Lift to Big Rocks glade. Here, you can find lines from 35 degrees to upwards of 50 degrees, with the steeper pitches riddled with 10-foot cliffs. Later in the day, head to a run called Cornice above the Big Burn. This area is exposed to winds that whip up the face and load the trees with powder. Chilies glade holds some of the steepest lines on the mountain, including a couple of hard to find chutes. Drop in from Wizard and traverse skier’s left. Two chutes will open up in the trees below, but go with caution: These lines can end in optional 30- to 60-foot cliffs.
