Spring Time skiing, according to overheard conversations is generally better in the morning as the sun hasn't had time to partially melt the snow.
While I am far from a professional skiers, before yesterday it had been roughly 6 years since I had last went skiing, I did manage to try three of the four difficulty levels available at Ski Santa Fe.

Green Circle Trails, for those unfamiliar with the standard rating of ski trails, are considered the first step up from practicing on the bunny hill. Along these routes you will generally see the most inexperienced skiers on the mountain and as such you should expect to have a rather slow trip down the mountain, for those who are out of practice taking a short run down a green trail may be a safe way to re-acclimate to the sport. Traveling down the Santa Fe Trail you are provided with ample opportunities to explore blue square and black diamond trails.

Blue Square trails are the next progression of ski trail difficulty, while the trails are generally smooth, they are steeper and still filled with a decent number of other skiers and as such your main challenge will be avoiding colliding with others. The Gay Way trail was decently paced and at least for a Thursday afternoon, relatively unoccupied. Like the Santa Fe Trail, Gay Way trail connects with both higher and lower difficulty level trails if you choose to diversify.

Black Diamond Trails are considered the hardest trails non professional skiers should attempt, at Ski Santa Fe the most defining trait of Black Diamond trails that was seen were moguls, and for any skier who has never had to use moguls before, it is apparent that they are in no way your friend.
