Ski Area Summary

Angel Fire Resort

Angel Fire Resort is a ski resort in New Mexico known for its wide variety of trails and beginner-friendly terrain. The best trails include Exhibition, a black diamond run with steep pitches and moguls, and High Five, a blue square run with beautiful views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. An interesting fact about the resort is that it was originally developed in the 1960s by a group of Texas businessmen who wanted to create a ski resort closer to their home state. For beginner skiers, we recommend trying out the Perfect Progression program which offers personalized instruction and easy-to-ride lifts. After a day on the slopes, head to The Lift House Bar and Grill for an après ski drink and live music.
