We spent Spring Break in Red River and had a good time. Lots of skiing/snow boarding with our family and eating out every night was nice. The food in the area was all good and we really liked Capo's. The only reason it was a three star is because some of the ski lift first aide team and personnel we...

I'm very big about writing reviews on my experiences rather they are good or bad. Red River Ski Area is AMAZING! I'm in my mid thirties and have never been skiing. I hate the cold, I hate the snow and I especially hate falling down! My husband who is a big skier talked me into at least trying to lea...

I am not a beginner snowboarder and therefore this is a ridiculous issue. The slopes getting off the lift are super short and steep causing boards to get caught if you take a second too long. I broke my bindings on the first run and the resort did nothing to help out, not even refund my ticket. Furt...

Best ski town in the west! I learned to ski at Red River in the 80s & my children have learned at Red River too! Ski school is phenomenal & we've had several fantastic instructors over the years.
We love that the town is easy to get around & nothing is far from the lifts. Very family friendly!

I love this mountain and town. I've lived here 13 years and have skied every one in New Mexico, but none more than Red River. The town is awesome. We stay at the Best Western River Edge and that place rocks. You walk to the main lift from any room with ski boots on. That's slope side if you ask...

In the summer, be sure to take the kids on the Ranger Tour at the top. Ranger Tim was great, the kids had fun and learned some things. Tim even threw in a good amount of history to keep the parents happy. Thanks Tim, we really enjoyed it.

Spent a week after Christmas 2015 and it was amazing. Kids had never skied and after a 1/2 day with RR instructor they were already on the Gold chairlift which was the perfect learning hill, both kids advanced up the hill throughout the week. They would also see their instructor on the "hill" and h...

The guys at the snowboarding park at Red River are awesome! Specifically Isaac! They were super friendly and even let me take a quick run right after the park closed before they were cleaning up for the day. I will definitely be back. Not crowded and we had great snow!

We have skied Red River several times. This trip was a bit different, as we placed our 3 year old in her very first ski lessons. We were a little worried she wouldn't enjoy it, however wound up loving it. We even extended her lessons to two hour sessions and requested (and received) the same ski ins...

Tubing at night is a definite must, just make sure you get tickets 3 days ahead. We didn't and still go in the 2nd round, but if you ...

Red River is a prime ski area in New Mexico. Probably the most northern most in NM. Really fun mountain with a beer and food up top. The park has rails, boxes and jumps from beginner to pretty intermediate. Snow conditions change through out the day so that can vary. Overall great mountain and will...

So much fun! My family and I took the ski lift and went hiking and saw so many beautiful sites! This is for sure a must see and do when visiting Red River, you won't regret it! We came back a few days later to go tubing and man was that a blast!! My 6 year old loved it! And once she saw the ski lift...

This is a very fun ski area in a nice little town with enough to do to have fun outside of skiing. As for the snow, the Silver Chair pod is a lot of fun and I have never found a crows back there. This resort has a great mix of groomed and ungroomed runs on the blue and black level that make the da...

First time skiing, Red River was awesome, food 2 1/2 stars, River Side Lodge & Cabins nice place for the price. Fudge Factory for sweets and rentals great price and don't bother going any where else. Mark turned us around on equipment and knowledge of the Red River.

Hidden treasure aerial park is nice for kids, but a bit pricey for what it is. Appointment is 1.5 hours but half an hour is getting geared up. So $50 for an hour. Ropes course finishes with a zip line. The guide was very nice and stayed over his shift to get us through it. Photographs are availab...

We came to the resort at about 5 on march 11 and we purchased a 3-4 day ski lift pass. We skied the first 2 days AFTER the 11th which were the 12th and 13th and we skipped the 14th, which gave us another day to ski on the 15th. When we got there on the 15th the lift administrator scanned our passes ...

Haven't been here in 10 years and I missed it. Great mountain for the whole family. Not crowded, organized lift lines, plenty of room to kick back and relax between runs in the lodge, and great cabin rentals accommodations from red river real estate!

Charging full price for half days and no locker rentals. Dont open if your not going to make provisions for covid. However, you dont mind taking our money. I dont mind wearing a mask but, while skiing alone is beyond ridiculous. This was year 4 and now the last... Sad

Nice ski area, but just beware that the kids that are running the lifts are in control of the place. I m sitting in line waiting to board the gold rush lift and they are playing music filled with profanity. You would think the owners would control this.
