Our Roots in Santa Fe

Longtime customers may still know our shop as Ski Tech, the name it carried for years before current ownership took over in February, 2018. We became Bluebird Mountain Sports to bring our New Mexico and Colorado shops under a single roof.

Santa Fe

Ski & snowboard shop in Santa Fe, NM. Serving Santa Fe Resort.

Bluebird Mountain Sports is an independent, family-owned ski and snowboard shop on South Saint Francis Drive, and the shop we've run the longest.

Reserve your gear, save 10%

Your trip to Ski Santa Fe should be a great day, and not an ordeal. Many of the people at our counter are locals heading up for a weekday, or visitors who've driven an hour north from Albuquerque, and want to be on snow before the lot fills.

We're not a base-area counter working a first-chair rush. We're the shop that take care of your bootfitting before you start your day, and the shop you can come back to on a weekday afternoon when something needs tuning.

Why choose Bluebird Mountain Sports in Santa Fe

We're built for people who care how the gear fits.

  • Boots are what we're known for

    We can help you with custom footbeds, liner molding, shell stretching and grinding, or cuff alignment. If you already own boots and they hurt, bring them in. We work on equipment you didn't buy from us, and a bad boot is nearly always fixable. Buy a new boot and custom footbed here, and we'll guarantee the fit for two years.

  • Try it before you commit to it

    Skis and boards are expensive, and a spec sheet tells you very little. You can demo our retail hardgoods before you buy, so you can get a feel for how a piece of gear feels on the mountain.

  • A shop for people who ski all winter

    Plenty of our customers are here in mid-February on a Tuesday morning. We’re a shop in town, rather than at a base area, so you can stop by for gear, rentals, or service even on a day you aren't skiing.

  • Rentals and season packages

    Adult and kids' ski, snowboard, and boot packages, with damage insurance included. Season packages are a great fit for local families or anyone driving up more than a handful of times a winter. Find out more about our seasonal rentals.

  • Retail and demos

    We have a full stock of skis, boards, boots, bindings, apparel, and accessories. Plus lots of current-season demo equipment you can ride on the mountain, before you decide whether you want to buy it.

  • Tuning, mounting, and repair

    We offer full-service bench work, with most jobs ready by 5 PM the day after drop-off. Buy a new boot, binding, ski, or board from us, and we'll mount the bindings free of charge.

  • Bootfitting

    Our team provides full custom bootfitting, from footbeds through shell modification, on boots bought here or anywhere else.

How to Get from Our Bluebird Location in Santa Fe to Ski Santa Fe

The mountain runs from 10,350' at the base to 12,075' at the summit, one of the highest base elevations in the country, across 660 acres served by seven lifts. The terrain splits evenly between intermediate and expert, with a smaller share set aside for beginners.Ski Santa Fe is 16 miles from town at the end of NM 475, also called Hyde Park Road. The resort recommends four-wheel or all-wheel drive with winter tires, and chains can be required in heavy snow, so check NMRoads before you set out.Base parking is free, including ADA spaces, but it fills on weekends, holidays, and powder days, and the resort recommends arriving before 9 AM. It’s a good idea to pick your gear up from Bluebird Mountain Sports the evening before (we’re open til 6 PM).

FAQ about renting in Santa Fe

Do I need a reservation?

No, but we recommend one. Reserving online saves you 10%, takes no deposit, and guarantees equipment during Christmas and spring break, when we run short.

How far is Ski Santa Fe from the shop?

The ski area is 16 miles from town, at the end of NM 475, also called Hyde Park Road. Drive time varies a great deal with weather, so plan on the mileage and the current road conditions rather than a fixed estimate.

When can I pick up and return my gear?

Pick up from 2 PM the evening before your first ski day, at no extra charge, and return before we close on your last day or by 10 AM the next morning. We don't charge you until the gear comes back, so an early return means you only pay for the days you used.

Will you work on boots I bought somewhere else?

Yes. Footbeds, liner work, and shell modification on boots you already own is routine for us, and usually cheaper than replacing them.

How long does a tune take?

Most work is ready by 5 PM the day after drop-off. A few jobs run longer, and we'll tell you at the counter if yours is one of them.

Able to get in and out quick. The technicians took extra time to make sure everything fit well. Able to enjoy 2 fun days on the mountain. Return was streamlined.

Well that was fun! Came from a terrible experience at Alpine Sports to meet Jake and Charlie who were very helpful. My husband, who is an avid skier and has fit boots in the past felt the level of service and expertise was on par. Jake recommended boots that fit his needs and it required no reservation to try them on! They fit so well, we bought them. I also ended up buying a pair after trying some on and having lining heated to reduce some sore spots. We can always schedule a future custom fit if we need any adjustments, but we are both happy so far! I am so grateful for their kindness and knowledge. Well done! Made me a supporter for future needs. Thanks
