You will be reimbursed for your expenses based upon original receipts after the workshop. Please keep your travel receipts for reimbursement purposes. Reimbursement forms will be handed out at the workshop.

Skiing is available a 20 minute drive into the mountains from SFI at the Santa Fe Ski Basin or 90 minutes north at Taos Valley.

TRAVELLING TO SANTA FE

Air: The major airport connection to Santa Fe is Albuquerque, New Mexico; approximately 60 miles from Santa Fe. Most major airlines fly into Albuquerque. There is also a very small airport in Santa Fe that is served by United Express from Denver (1-800-241-6522). It is always more expensive to fly into Santa Fe rather than Albquerque. Please take advantage of the lowest coach fares available to you.

For a more detailed list see the airlines page.

Ground: You can reach downtown Santa Fe from the Albuquerque airport using one of several bus services. See directions for more details and for car rental information.

DIRECTIONS

from the airports to Santa Fe and from the local hotels to SFI are given on the Find Us page.

SANTA FE

Santa Fe is a wonderful, small city with excellent cultural opportunities and restaurants. We are at an altitude of 7,000 feet. In January, temperatures will range from 20-50 degrees. For additional information about Santa Fe, consult the Santa Fe Visitors Bureau.
