Red River Ski Area

I have skied several mountains including Taos 3 times. This was my daughter's ' Isabella' 1st trip. The first day night we arrived and seen the town, I knew that we made the right decision. The Blue chair statement of ' the lowest, slowest un-scariest in the Rockies is correct. Isabella was 7 at the time and in on the second day we rode the red chair to the top and had 2 wonderful days of skiing on the back side. Don't be mistaken the front has some aggressive terrain, but I would recommend Red River to any family that is looking for a Snow vacation. There is much more than skiing. The town is wonderful and the wildlife is abundant. Thanks for the experience.

After about 30 years of service to the top of the mountain, the Red Chair is being retired. The Red River Ski Area is proud to announce the replacement of the Red Chair this summer. The contract was signed Wednesday between Red River Ski Area and Doppelmayr CTEC on a new “fixed-grip” triple chairlift. Doppelmayr CTEC is set to manufacture this chairlift especially for our mountain after studying the profile and measurements over the past several months. This April, began the chair removal and getting further underway. Installation is set to be complete in November for our ’09-’10 winter season.
