Pajarito ski mountain is about 80 miles north of Albuquerque, and 7 miles from Los Alamos. From Albuquerque, take I-25 north to Santa Fe and get off at the Los Alamos (US 285 North) exit. Drive on St. Francis Drive through Santa Fe and continue North. Take the Pojoaque turn-off to Los Alamos (NM 502). Stay in the right lane, taking the Truck Route (NM 501) to Los Alamos. It will take you right by the well-marked turn-off to the ski hill. Chains and 4WD are sometimes required in the winter.
