Red River Ski and Ride Area Reviews & Tips (9)
Been skiing 25 years but never here before. Don't know how we missed this place. Ski rentals, tickets, ski school all together. Close parking. Took our grandsons for their first time. Everything close together and handy. Friendly and helpful staff made their first trip pleasant and saved us lots of time and energy too. Must eat at Sundance after skiing. Great Mexican food! The green chilie stew at the lift is good too, maybe to spicey for kids.
Beginners beware. The "Easiest Way Down" is green, but not that easy. Your little guys can ski the green tree trails at the top and take the chair down. That's what I learned.

Loved it, Stopped a car and asked where to pick up my $35 Wednesday Liftopia tickets and the ower rode me up and walked me right to the counter. Almost hate to say this so more people don't crowd this place, at 11am we were still making fresh tracks on snow covered chutes with names like Wild Turkey and fittingly named Powder Keg. Some of our group even thought this was the best skiing of the 3 NM resorts we visted including the biggest one. I want to return in the summer, we all bought Tee shirts, puzzles, magnets, fudge and food at all the cool shops along main st before the scenic ride back to Taos. Wish I would of bought another days lift ticket to Red River from liftopia. Like Arnold said "I Will Return".

You can't beat Red River! No long drive to get to the mountain from you hotel and probably the best ski school in the southwest! I've been going to Red River for 30 years and it never disappoints. Great for families!

Great time for skiing with the family! Stayed 5 nights, skied 3 full days. Liftopia definitely helped with ticket prices, heh... overall, I feel this is a great place to go ski if you are a beginner-intermediate level skier. There are some black runs too that will challenge you. Not a huge place but definitely do not have that assembly line feel either. Will go back!

Red River was ok, the mountain was pretty small and the runs were so groomed that the snow was packed/icy. Snowboarded the whole mountain in a day and ended up driving to Taos the next day. But other wise a good mountain for beginners with friendly staff.

Liftopia is great. Saved some good money to spend elsewhere. Be aware that the Ski Services Office at Red River is not at the Face or main lift. You have to go up to the ski school/restaurant/ski rental area where the smaller lifts are to find that office for checking in vouchers. They are great once you find them though.

Man O man!! What a great time we had. My sister and her family along with my brother joined my mother and son here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Everyone has been very accomidating to say the least and both my nephews got to play in the snow. Thanks Red River for offering so much. Mows it time to do it again with my oldest. Woohoo I can't wait.

Make sure to check out the whole mountain, some of the best skiing is way off the main trails. Also since they make alot of their own snow there do not bring powder ski's! lol

Love Red River.
The best, cleanest and freshest place to eat is at Roberto's Fiesta restaraunt.
Best place to stay is Claim Jumper Aframes- right across the street from lift.
And Red River has a coupon floating around the internet for Buy one get one free lift ticket until March !st.
The snow is great, lift lines= NONE.
Good place for families and the Playhouse is so much FUN! Was there Feb 19-22.
Oh and everyone is so friendly!
Oh what else is good.....Avalanche bar from chocolate factory .
At the Der Mart they have CHOCOLate Wine! Hello? Need I say more? guys, start up the fireplace and cozy up with your gal and relax.
Good Runs, Awesome conditions right now!
