Fresh Snow Ahead & Plenty to Explore

Winter in the mountains is never one-size-fits-all — and that’s part of the magic. This season in Angel Fire, winter is unfolding in a way that invites flexibility, connection, and a mix of experiences you don’t often get all in one trip. With fresh snow in the forecast and the resort making snow daily whenever conditions allow, the mountain is continuing to open terrain as it can — while the town itself offers a wide range of ways to get outside, explore, and slow down together.

Come with an open mind, and discover a version of winter that blends ski days with trail time, family adventures with quiet moments, and just the right balance of activity and rest.

A Winter That’s Still Unfolding

Angel Fire Resort is working hard behind the scenes to make the most of every cold window, producing snow daily when temperatures cooperate and opening runs as conditions allow. With snowfall in the forecast, winter momentum is building — and each storm brings new opportunities on the mountain.

While Mother Nature sets the pace, the experience here is shaped by the people who show up ready to enjoy it. Fewer crowds, a relaxed atmosphere, and room to breathe make Angel Fire feel grounded and welcoming — especially during a season when other destinations can feel rushed or overwhelming.

Skiing, Tubing & Snow Play on the Mountain

Even with limited terrain early in the season, Angel Fire Resort continues to offer classic winter fun. Skiing and snowboarding are available as conditions allow, with terrain opening incrementally. The tubing hill brings big smiles for kids and adults alike, and sledding areas offer simple, old-school winter joy.

Beyond the Slopes: More Ways to Play Outside

One of the unexpected gifts of this winter has been the ability to enjoy both winter and shoulder-season activities during the same trip.

Greenbelt Trails

Angel Fire’s Greenbelt Trail System winds through town and open space, offering scenic routes for walking, hiking, and biking. On warmer days, these trails are perfect for getting outside together, spotting wildlife, and soaking up fresh mountain air without committing to a full ski day.

Horseback Riding with Roadrunner Tours

Explore Angel Fire from the saddle with Nancy Burch’s Roadrunner Tours, the area’s trusted provider for guided horseback rides. Winter rides offer a peaceful way to experience the landscape — quiet trails, wide-open views, and a slower pace that invites you to truly take it all in.

Reflect, Remember & Explore In Town

Not every winter moment needs to be active. Angel Fire also offers meaningful places to pause and reflect, like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where quiet surroundings and powerful stories invite perspective and gratitude.

Plan your visit to the memorial HERE:

Strolling through town, enjoying a warm drink, or simply watching the light change across the mountains can be just as memorable as a day on the slopes.
