With a base height of 10,350 feet, the Santa Fe Basin in one of the highest in the U.S.; the Millennium Triple chairlift carries skiers to a soaring 12,000 feet and an incredible view of Santa Fe and the surrounding mountains.

This area of the mountain was burnt off in forest fire many years ago. The aspen have returned and the pine are slowly filling in. In another 50 years this area will again be a pine forest.
