About the Area
The Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico is located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The resort offers skiing and snowboarding on various mountain aspects, including north-facing slopes which tend to hold snow well and provide good conditions for skiing. The highest peak in the area is Wheeler Peak, which is the highest peak in New Mexico and provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Other notable peaks in the area include Baldy Mountain and Agua Fria Peak.
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.
