nowIt’s fInally arrIved. ski season is here. first the northern resorts, including taos, opened in time for thanksgiving, and then, this past saturday, ski santa fe turned on its lifts as well as the hearts of local skiers. Mother nature promptly rewarded us with new snow, allowing for nearly 50 percent of the lower mountain to open. We’re off and running toward a good ski season—all of us who bought those early passes already feel partially vindicated. now the question is whether you want to use those tired old skis from the past few years or if you’re ready to take the plunge into the latest and greatest and buy new, all-mountain skis with wide-board technology.
My favorite way to check out all the great new skis this season is to hit up the free alpine sports demo days at ski santa fe (free being the operative word here). you can try out various skis that suit your abilities and preferred terrain, and you’ll be glad you did when it’s time to eventually buy new equipment. everything looks so great in the stores, but how skis perform is unique to you and your experience on actual snow. alpine sports’
carpet just isn’t the same. this only happens one weekend a year, and this is the one, so don’t miss it. I’ll be there, fueling my ski fantasies.

buzz thefarolito photo contest
farolitos are synonymous with winter in the City different, and this year tOUrIsM santa fe is hosting its first photo contest centering on the cozy, candle-lit bags of sand.
“We wanted to celebrate the season with a focus on one of our most beautiful, unique, and spirited holiday traditions,” says John feins, tOUrIsM santa fe’s public relations manager. “We expect fun creativity from santa feans and from people who love santa fe but are located elsewhere.” to enter the contest (whose prizes include museum
passes, restaurant gift certificates, and hotel packages), follow @Cityofsantafe on Instagram and share a picture that shows a farolito you designed or decorated. Use the hashtags #santafeJoy, #farolito, and #howtosantafe, and tag @Cityofsantafe. a panel of local judges will assess each entry’s “creative design, holiday spirit, and image composition,” feins says. entries will be accepted through december 25 and can be seen on tOUrIsM santa fe’s Pinterest page.—Cristina Olds
On november 20, the painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 by Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986) broke the record for a female artist at an auction when it sold at sotheby’s in new york City for $44.4 million. “this sale will provide funding to strengthen and refine our collection, allowing us to represent the full breadth of Georgia O’Keeffe’s artistic accomplishments,” robert a. Kret, director of santa fe’s Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (which put the painting on the auction block) said in a statement. two determined bidders drove the iconic work’s final price to nearly three times its estimated going price of $15 million.
elizabeth Goldberg, head of sotheby’s american art department, noted that “to have achieved this result just one year after norman rockwell’s Saying Grace set a new benchmark for this category at $46 million shows that there is an amazing appetite in today’s market for gems of american art.”—CO

Birdman soars
rat-a-tat boom, and riggan thomson (Michael Keaton), the main character in Birdman, contemplates his death, or tries to show his daughter he’s a good man, or debates the laziness of criticism with a New York Times writer, or agonizes over going broke, or agonizes over his new Broadway play, or drinks, or fist-fights his top supporting actor backstage, or levitates, or flies, or smashes all the objects in his office by throwing them telekinetically. and as riggan hurriedly stomps around new york City’s hallowed st. James theater—where he’s starring as the broken man at the center of the play he wrote and is directing based on raymond Carver’s What We Talk About When We Talk About Love—he’s being harassed and haunted and pep-talked by the voice of the character Birdman, whom he portrayed in a 1990s film franchise. that role laid the groundwork for, say, robert downey Jr., to make $400 million by playing Iron Man over and over and over and over—a reality that’s a bit loathsome to the greatest actors on Broadway, who don’t don dumb costumes and fight green screens but instead mine deep human places within and effectively portray powerful emotions on stage in plays written by geniuses telling stories through dialogue.
among the best of these Broadway actors is Mike shiner (edward norton), who challenges the rest of the cast with such extreme energy that they scream at him and fight with him. yet when he’s offstage he’s so thoughtful and dour (because he’s peculiar, and drunk) that you can’t help but wonder if norton is stealing this movie. But then opening night gets closer, and Keaton’s performance as riggan is so strong and touching and vulnerable that you don’t want to blink.
a jazz drummer bangs poetic beats throughout the film, and director alejandro González Iñárritu edits this beautiful movie without a cut so it looks like a single, continuous shot. and when it’s over you step off this fast ride around Broadway and walk out of the theater shaking your head and smiling because it ends so well and you’ve just experienced insightful entertainment at a level movies practically never, ever reach.—Phil Parker
still cooking after 25 years the santa fe school of Cooking was celebrating local food long
before it became a fad to do so. and as sfsC celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, new Mexico’s farms and farmers are still at the heart of its demonstration and hands-on classes.
Having grown up in a ranch family, founder susan Curtis was accustomed to homegrown food; as an adult, she became impressed with distinctive regional cuisines she encountered during her travels. these two influences came together when she opened sfsC in 1989. Her daughter, nicole Curtis ammerman, now director of operations, was part of the school from the beginning—even stepping in on the first day when her mother fell ill—and officially joined the team in 1993.
Over the past quarter century, sfsC has fostered local chefs, trained numerous home cooks, offered culinary boot camps, built its own ingredient line, and earned recognition for its restaurant walks, which fodor’s named among the country’s top tours. to mark its 25th anniversay, sfsC will host an event on december 13 that includes tamale-making and cookie-decorating stations, visits with santa Claus, live music, and dishes from the school’s newest cookbook, Celebrating the Foods of New Mexico, which rings true to Curtis’s founding mission.—AMB

holiday lights at the santa fe Botanical Garden
for its second annual holiday display, called GlOW (which opened december 4), the santa fe Botanical Garden has lit its grounds with a sophisticated art installation. Joe dean, of lumenscapes (a self-described illumination media company) created three lit, semi-opaque domes that visitors can walk through or around in order to view images the artist has projected onto the surfaces. the dazzling array also includes sparkling lights along the gardens’ paths and in its trees and ramadas.
GlOW is accompanied by various events and offerings. On the thursday and friday nights prior to Christmas, kids can meet santa Claus from 5 to 6:30 pm, and on other nights visitors can enjoy live music from the likes of the Buffalo nickel Band, the Mary rose Jazz duo, and Montiel. festive cocktails from Kelly’s liquor Barn and coffee from Iconik Coffee roasters are available at the bar in one
of the domes, and cozy fires throughout the grounds help you keep warm while enjoying the glittering display. —Ashley M. Biggers

Santa Fe Desert Choralethe ensemble welcomes the holiday season with its Carols and Lullabies program
by emily van Cleve
tHe santa fe desert CHOrale has performed its storied repertoire for more than 33 years, and this winter the primarily a capella group offers six evenings of its annual Carols and Lullabies program in the Cathedral Basilica of st. francis of assisi and Cristo rey Church.
“there are a few meaty and serious works on the program, but there are also carols and lullabies from the around the world,” says director Joshua Habermann, who’s helmed the 24-member ensemble since 2009. “during the summer we do high concept programs that include a major work, but the winter repertoire is lighter, more fun.”
Conceived for a general audience, the winter program includes J. C. Bach’s “salve regina” and Mendelssohn’s “Weihnachten” as well as “Have yourself a Merry little Christmas” and “deck the Halls.” audience members are invited to sing along to “Joy to the World.”
“as a conductor, I just love it,” Habermann says. “I get to concentrate on a cappella music with two dozen singers. there are
more than 1,000 years of a cappella music in the repertoire, [so] I’m never going to run out of pieces we can sing.”
If Carols and Lullabies leaves you wanting more holiday a capella, vOasIs (the desert Chorale’s eight-person jazz and pop ensemble) performs Endings & Beginnings at the lodge at santa fe december 27–31.
Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Carols and lullabies, December 16, 18–20, and 23 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, 131 Cathedral; December 22 at Cristo Rey Church, 1120 Canyon; 8 pm, $20–$70, desertchorale.org.

The NutcrackerAspen Santa Fe Ballet brings its signature style to a beloved holiday classic
by ashley M. Big gers
asPen santa fe Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker is a rare opportunity to see the modern company perform a classical ballet. “this is your one chance to see a lot of toe shoes,” says executive director Jean-Philippe Malaty. But with asfB, even a traditional ballet has a few distinctive twists.
the company abbreviates the score for its production, which speeds up the pace to match a child’s attention span, and the action is layered—a dancer is never alone onstage—which means that audience members can enjoy multiple vignettes simultaneously.
asfB also gives the ballet a bit of whimsy. In its production, protagonist Clara’s second-act trip to the land of sweets is presented as a visit to a large carousel. asfB has drafted guest performers for the roles of the sweets, who perform folk dances for Clara. these visiting artists include Chengxin Wei, a Chinese-born dancer, and Katrina amerine, an aerialist from los angeles who performs a silk-and-trapeze act as part of The Nutcracker’s famous arabian dance. thanks to its 2014 partnership with Juan siddi flamenco, asfB has also enlisted two members of that repertory, emmy Grimm and Illeana Gomez. “the audience is going to see traditional folk dance actually performed by traditional folk dancers, not a ballerina,” Malaty says. “We’re trying to be very true to the dance.”
the 60-strong cast also includes 10 additional ballet dancers as well as young students from the school of aspen santa fe Ballet. Malaty notes that the children’s presence keeps the show lively, even for asfB’s core dancers, who perform this show annually.
“every professional dancer has a memory of being in The Nutcracker as a child,” he says. “for many, it was their first taste of being in front of an audience. you can see and feel that in the theater—that dream the professionals had as children and are now passing along to another generation. there’s a sense of magic.”
the nutcracker, December 20, 2 pm and 7:30 pm, December 21, 1 pm and 5 pm, $25–$72, The Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, aspensantafeballet.com

WHen siblings rebekah, serendipity, elijah, sam, and santiago tynker began performing professionally in santa fe in 1995, traveling the world with their vaudeville-style of circus arts was a mere dream. today, the group spends seven months of the year juggling, sword swallowing, stilt walking, unicycle riding, and fire-eating their way through festivals and fairs around the globe—but coming home to new Mexico remains a thrill for them.
“We’ve got this new show we’re really excited about, and we want to see how the hometown audience responds to it,” says rebekah. “The Dream Train is an embellishment of
TheDream Train the circus quintet Clan Tynker presents a new show at The Armory for the Arts
what we’ve been feeling about our experiences when we’re traveling.” the show features the tynkers playing more than 32 characters while
using narration and minimal sets to depict certain locations around the world. “there will be some classic Clan tynker circus acts—some juggling, acrobatics, and dance—but this show has a plot line and speaking parts,” rebekah notes. “that’s new for us.”
since The Dream Train was conceived in los angeles last spring, the siblings have spent dozens of hours working with actor/director doug Mumaw to write and revise their script. “We didn’t know the nuances of performing, [so] doug’s been helping us,” rebekah says. “We’ve been learning how to make quiet moments work in a show, how to use our faces to communicate subtle expressions, those sorts of things.”
If santa fe audiences like The Dream Train, Clan tynker will offer it as a touring production. “It’s been hard work,” rebekah adds, “but it’s a blast.”

Canyon Road’s illuminating Farolito Walk brings together families, friends, and strangers
It’s CHrIstMas eve day, and Canyon road–area residents and business owners are filling buckets with sand from a big pile at nearby acequia Madre elementary school. When they get home, their families, from grandparents to tiny tots, help them fill hundreds of lunch-size brown paper bags with the sand. People gather in yards or driveways, working in sync and taking the occasional break to sample a cooling biscochito from the kitchen. they fold down the tops of the paper bags an inch or two, scoop some sand into the bottom of the bag, nestle a votive candle in that sand, and move on to the next bag.
the long-standing santa fe tradition of lining Canyon road with farolitos (as the illuminated bags of sand are called) on Christmas eve traces its roots to the 1970s, when eastside residents took to the street to celebrate the Historic neighborhood association’s squelching of development plans for the area. “the women in the association at that time, including my sister anita Gonzales thomas, designated a person to make farolitos for each block where they lived,” says longtime area resident edward “Gonzo” Gonzales, who’s served as a santa fe city councilor and president of the santa fe fiesta Council. “they would meet and have coffee and tell stories and fold bags.”
and so a tradition was born. today, the Historic neighborhood association collaborates with the City of santa fe to host what’s officially known as the farolito Walk, a Christmas eve event that attracts thousands of participants to Canyon road. the city closes the road and its surrounding streets to traffic at dusk and offers free bus service during certain hours to minimize traffic.
“almost all of the neighbors here on delgado street [which is off Canyon road] like to participate, and my family makes about 100 farolitos,” Gonzales says. Many revelers stop by small bonfires (known as luminarias) along the route to warm their hands and feet and perhaps enjoy things like cocoa, cider, live music, and caroling. they also stop into participating galleries that keep their doors open late and offer refreshments and live entertainment as well.

Santa Fe Women’s Ensemblethe chorus’ holiday concert centers on peace
by ashley M. Biggers
In Its annUal HOlIday concert, the santa fe Women’s ensemble is turning its collective voice to peace—something “the world is crying out for,” says dr. linda raney, the group’s musical director. “Our concert [Songs of Peace] reflects on what peace is and how we can achieve it.”
the heart of the program is the world premiere of “Words of Peace,” a work that two of the ensemble’s singers, Mickey Bond and sue Katz, commissioned from linda rice Beck, another member of the group. When writing the piece, Beck, who belongs to asCaP and also sings with the santa fe symphony Chorus, reflected on the deep meaning of the Hebrew word shalom. the resulting work comprises five songs for women’s voices that are sung in Hebrew and english and are accompanied by flute and, in two songs, percussion.
the sfWe is known for its adventurous programming—in 2012 the group received an award from Chorus america that honored its bold choices—so it’s not surprising that Songs of Peace features an eclectic repertoire, from the spiritual “there Is a Balm in Gilead” to “shanti,” a soundscape based on a Buddhist chant whose refrain is simply “Peace. May all beings be well and happy.” those looking for traditional Christmas music will find that, too, with liturgical hymns and carols such as “still, still, still” completing the program.
“We hope,” raney says, “that [Songs of Peace] provides an unusual holiday experience for the audience, lifting spirits as it explores all the wonders of how we could live together peacefully.”
Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble, songs of Peace, December 12, 14, and 18, 7 pm, The Loretto Chapel, 207 Old Santa Fe Trl., and December 20, 3 pm, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel, 50 Mt. Carmel, from $20, sfwe.org

The Beestro
A special addition to the regular dinner menu at The Beestro, the Peking duck with mini crêpes (seen here) is a rare treat. Preparing the dish takes three days, says chef and owner Greg Menke, who describes The Beestro, which also serves popular paninis for lunch, as “a traditional sit-down style of crêperie that you’d find on the northwest coast of France, in Brittany.” The process “starts with buying a whole duck with the head and feet on and then [inflating it] with an air compressor to separate the skin,” he explains. “Then you steam it, marinate it, roast it, and meticulously carve off the meat. The real treat is the crispy skin.” The dish’s mini crêpes are served with green onion, cucumber, sesame seeds, hoisin sauce, and a side of duck sauce made from vinegar, garlic, ginger, roasted plums, and a hint of chile pepper. The crêpes are crafted out of a white flour batter, which allows for a softer, more pliable wrap for the duck—“like a moo shu pancake,” Menke says. “These crêpes are very filling,” he notes, “but crêpes [in general] are lighter fare.”—Cristina OldsThe Beestro, 101 W Marcy, thebeestro.com

old-world charmthis 11.5-acre la tierra property certainly embodies its name, la Querencia, which roughly translates to “a place one feels at home.” the 4,800-square-foot house radiates old-world charm, with hand-hewn mesquite woodwork, high ceilings, kiva fireplaces, and slate floors. But not to worry: the kitchen appliances and other amenities are as modern as can be (think radiant heating, insulated windows, a swimming pool, and a security system). Beyond the six-bedroom, six-bathroom main house, a 1,200-square-foot, two-bedroom guesthouse and horse facilities offer plenty of space for guests—human and equine alike.

WHen yOU steP IntO any of santa fe’s specialty gift shops this time of year, you may feel as though you’ve been transported to a southwestern version of santa’s workshop, post-production. shopping for handcrafted holiday items made by top-notch local and international artists is an enchanting experience in the enclaves around the Plaza and atop Museum Hill, as you’re sure to be drawn to the glass, wood, clay, and wool ornaments (and much more) depicting everything from beloved local landmarks to festive annual events. so enjoy the following photos and then hit the shops, where you can get into the holiday spirit by searching for enduring, one-of-a-kind items and supporting new Mexico’s artists and business owners in the process.
Courtney M. Leonard (Shinnecock) created these
hand-painted, micaceous clay berry bowls as part of the LEVEL/
LAND exhibition in the MoCNA Store’s Lloyd Kiva New Gallery.
The store offers contemporary and traditional jewelry,
basketry, pottery, paint-ings, and prints created
by Native American artists as well as a
large collection of books and
music.

Established in 1977, The Shop specializes in New Mexico –made ornaments, nativity scenes, and Santa figurines, and it also sells items from leading artists from around the world.
These ornaments from Japan, whose scenes are painted on the inside, are available at the Museum of International Folk Art Shop. They were inspired by a recent exhibition at the museum called Kite Crazy in Japan.

Absolute Nirvana Spa & Gardens style
GInGerBread’s entICInG arOMa heralds the holiday season—including at absolute nirvana spa & Gardens. as part of a winter special on offer through January 1, the downtown getaway incorporates the classic Christmas cookie’s ingredients into a body treatment that revitalizes and rejuvenates dry winter skin.
the special, which demonstrates the spa’s adherence to jamu—the Indonesian practice of integrating natural plants, herbs, and spices into health and beauty treatments—begins with an hour-long massage. you can specify your desired level of pressure (from light to deep) as well as your need (relaxation or healing). When my massage was over, my therapist created the base of a body scrub by drizzling warm oil over my skin. she then sprinkled on a hand-mixed blend of raw, organic cane sugar infused with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Once I was sugar-dusted, she added a nourishing mask of molasses and yogurt, scrubbing to
exfoliate my skin.the ingredients in this
treatment weren’t chosen just for their seasonal fit: the spices have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and molasses is a rich source of iron, calcium, and magnesium. the scrub smelled delightful, and, though a bit sticky, it melted away easily in a steamy shower. My skin was left feeling wonderfully smooth and moisturized. this winter special was a delicious holiday treat.

The haunting electric-rock sound of Denver-based band Wovenhand is hard to categorize. The group’s powerful punk songs are reminiscent of Sonic Youth and Joy Division, but they also stand out for their Indian and African rhythms. Founded in 2001 by lead singer and songwriter David Eugene Edwards while his alt-country group, 16 Horsepower, was on sabbatical, Wovenhand recently kicked off their latest U.S. tour at Skylight in Santa Fe, performing hits from their seventh studio album, Refractory Obdurate. With charging electric guitars and a spare mandolin accompaniment, Edwards chanted lyrics inspired by his Christian roots and punctuated by his signature emotive hand motions. A self-proclaimed fangirl at the show said Edwards’s music has morphed from acoustic to a more amplified sound while remaining romantic and epic. “[Edwards] is a master of the building crescendo—the drums lay the foundation with a throbbing, tom-heavy march reminiscent of Tool, and the two guitars create a hypnotic building of chording textures,” she says.—Cristina Olds
