Other Outdoor Recreation Mountain Biking - New Mexico is mountain bike heaven. With so many sunny days even in winter, mountain biking is a year-round sport. While the higher mountain elevations may be snow covered in winter months, lower trails are still great for pedalling. There are also many wide mesas on BLM land that make for fantastic winter rides. Golf - In New Mexico's high altitude and thinner than sea level air, golf balls travel up to 10 percent farther.
Sunny days mean skiing in the morning and a round in the afternoon.
In Taos, The Taos Country Club is a links-style course set in the mountain foothills. Santa Fe's two public courses are the Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Country Club.
