Angel Fire Resort, Northern New Mexico’s premier family vacation destination, announced today it will open Dec. 15, 2023, for the 2023-2024 ski season. Known as one of the “Best Family Ski Resorts in North America,” Angel Fire Resort is preparing for what forecasters are saying will be a heavier than average snow year, thanks to a strong El Nino developing in the Pacific. The resort will put to use the upgraded, energy efficient snow-making equipment as soon as the temperatures drop to prep the mountain for opening. However, the resort is hopeful that heavy snow that’s expected to start in the first part of the new year will allow it to stay open longer this season. The resort plans to stay open a full week later this year as long as the weather cooperates.
“A strong El Niño is on the horizon, and history tells us that it often brings heavy snowfall to Angel Fire. This means this winter promises to be one for the books, with powder days you won’t want to miss,” said Greg Ralph, director of marketing, Angel Fire Resort.
Angel Fire Resort’s winter season will be Dec. 15, 2023 – March 24, 2024.
“We offer the best awe-inspiring mountain views and an ideal backdrop for your family to make great memories this winter, ” Ralph said. “Whether that means you’re coming for skiing, snowboarding, tubing or simply to get away from the hustle and bustle to play with your kids in the snow, we are the winter escape families are looking for
“Along with skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and night skiing, we are also creating fun, interactive, entertainment opportunities for families and couples. One of our newest and most popular off-mountain activities are the seasonal evening snowshoe hikes, and our popular dinners at the summit with stargazing guided tours. We’re always adding new activities at the resort.’’
The resort will host a rotating series of “snow-play activities” at the base, such as snowman-making contests, ice sculpture demonstrations, relay games and snowball fights for kids. The popular new Zia base bar will serve smores and hot chocolate. There will also be firepits and chairs added at the base for families to enjoy. Additional non-skiing activities include:
- A 2-lane tubing hill
- An old-fashioned sledding hill
- An increase in après hour activities for both kids and couples
- Summit dinner & guided stargazing tours
The resort also will offer seasonal mixology classes, whiskey tastings, cooking demonstrations for couples, and themed crafts and game nights for kids.
Angel Fire Resort continues to expand on its family-first offerings, including family-friendly enhancements to its full-service Children’s Ski School.
