If Dad possesses mad fishing skilz — or even if he just enjoys casting every now and then — this weekend getaway might make a great Father’s Day gift.
Sipapu is holding its first Father’s Day Fishing Derby on Saturday, June 20 (2009), and they have plenty of other family-friendly activities available, in case fishing’s not your thing. Just $59 per person per night gets you accommodations, free entry into the fishing derby, and a BBQ dinner on the patio with a demonstration from the chef on how to cook your trout. Plus, kids 12 and under are FREE!
Besides fishing in the resort’s stocked trout pond, you can play FREE Frisbee golf on their world-class course. Of course, there’s always hiking the beautiful mountainsides, too, and simply kicking back and enjoying nature.
This special package is good only June 20 and 21, 2009. Mention the “Father’s Day Fishing Derby Package” when you call to make reservations: 800-587-2240.
Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort is located due south of Taos, at 5524 State Road 518, Vadito, NM.

If you’re not ready to give up skiing for the season, here’s your chance to squeeze in one last weekend of fantastic New Mexico spring skiing at a bargain price. And the new snow projected to fall Friday at Sipapu won’t cost you an extra penny!
These $9.99 adult lift tickets are available in limited quantities for Sunday, March 29 only, so act quickly. If you miss out — or you want to ski Saturday instead — don’t despair. You can still enjoy cheap skiing in NM with heavily discounted Sipapu lift tickets through the end of the season. For example, you can now get an adult lift ticket for just $25 — still quite a bargain, compared to big Colorado resorts. Sipapu is a family-friendly resort and, at just two hours away, within easy driving distance from Albuquerque.
So, throw the skis or snowboards in the car, sneak out of work early, and head on up to Sipapu, NM, for a day of fab spring skiing!
