Red River Ski Vacations

Red River, New Mexico is home to one of the most

popular ski resorts in the United States, and has

been for many decades. The resort offers six chair

lifts and one surface lift, and the trails are equally

divided for beginners, intermediates, and experts.

Top elevation at Red River is 10354 feet, and the

vertical drop down the face of the mountain is 1601

feet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t snow much, and about

85% of the powder is man made. There are 58 trails

scattered over 247 acres. Red River is called the ‘ski

town of the Southwest.’

The resort has three restaurants, all of which offer

fabulous fare. Lodging can be obtained in cabins,

chalets, inns, or private condominiums in the area,

and many lodging packages, as well as ski packages

are available through Red River Central Reservations.

Red River also offers snow pass rates which allow

children to ski for free, and teens to ski at reduced

rates. This is a great way to save money on your

family ski vacation.

Red River also has a ski school, and group lessons

and private lessons are available. Even if you’ve never

skied before, you will quickly be on the slopes after

your lessons. There are even lessons for

snowboarders, who are welcome on the Red River

slopes. You can also rent all of your ski and

snowboarding equipment for very reasonable rates.

The nightlife in Red River is also great. After a day

on the slopes, you can kick back and relax at the

lodge, or visit one of the taverns in the area. For the

younger crowd, there is a great game room located

right in the center of the town. One of the great things

about Red River is that everything is within walking

distance of the lodging areas, and shuttles are

provided for transportation to and from the slopes.

You can also enjoy taking scenic chairlift rides,

hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping,

snow-mobiling, and hunting. You can even take one

of the jeep tours to go see the abandoned gold mines

in the area. So, even if you don’t ski, there is still

plenty of fun to be had at Red River Ski Resort.

Childcare is available while you spend your day on

the slopes. Your child will be well tended at the Li’l

Buckaroos Child Care Facility, and the center

provides lunch for your child as well. At Red River,

everything has been thought of and taken care of to

ensure that your ski vacation is as enjoyable as

possible.
