Red River Ski & Summer Area

Very nice place to ski and dear to my heart. There is of course Taos nearby and Angel Fire, which are also deserving places. What Red River has more is the town. It is a little, cute, charming old miners town, and virtually everybody there is really nice. The view of the town from above, driving from Eagle's Nest is really marvelous, as the town is nested in a small valley. The drive from Taos also afford beautiful vistas.

Nice long green for beginners but beware they still charge a full Montain lift ticket for kids who will only use this area. I didn't go up as I was teaching my son, but I heard the lifts are slow, yet trails are decent.

We go there on July 4 every year and it’s a welcome break from the heat. Lotta fishing lotta fun. We went to Goose lake and watched the 4th of July parade. Really nice relaxing time on the mountains.

Red River is the best! Purchased lift tickets the night before skiing and went to will-call in the parking lot where an employee greeted us and gave us an envelope that included our tickets, plastic connectors, receipt, and a trail map. The whole process took about 30 seconds. It was actually better than the normal ticket office or kiosks. Loved it! And there was about 4 inches of fresh powder to ski in on this perfect bluebird day. ❤️❤️❤️

One of the best ski towns around. You can definitely walk all over town to shop, eat, some condos offer door to ski lift just walk out the door and catch the lift. Tubing at night is a definite must, just make sure you get tickets 3 days ahead. We didn't and still go in the 2nd round, but if you want the 430pm round you have to move on it. Ski lessons should also be purchased 3 days ahead.
