ANGEL FIRE RESORT News:
ANGEL FIRE Angel Fire Resort in northern New Mexico has benefited from late fall storms that have tracked over the southwest.
The storms are providing the northern New Mexican mountains with several inches of consistent snow.
The family-friendly resort kicks off ski season today, more than three feet of natural snow. The mountain operations team has also been taking advantage of the colder temperatures throughout the past four weeks, making snow in anticipation of this year’s opening.
Resort officials celebrated the return of the winter ski season by opening the mountain today from top to bottom with 5 trails, 3 chairlifts, two moving carpets, and the two-lane Polar Coaster Tubing Hill.
