here are many different ways in which guests are made welcome in someone’s home—in the case of Angel Fire, “welcome” is encompassed in
a dynamic interplay of elements. Pyrotechnic sunsets f ire-branding the mountain peaks red and gold; sprawling wilderness that beckons contemplation and exploration; the natural high born of breathing fresh mountain air. It is also easy to feel good in a community that is rich in laid-back charm and easygoing folks. A visit to Angel Fire is not simply about “getting away,” but also about getting back to yourself. Renewal and revitalization; R & R with a high-altitude twist.

As a premiere family destination, Angel Fire’s “youth movement” runs through all four seasons, with numerous opportunities for the young, and the young at heart, to stay actively engaged. You can say that our town’s resounding “welcome,” translates into an invitation for all f ive of your senses to experience nature, southwestern-style. Indulge freely.

hen winter arrives in Angel Fire, the landscape is transformed into a massive playground for kids of all ages. With over
210 inches of annual snowfall—not to mention extensive snowmaking—there are many ways in which to experience the upside and the down-slide of mountain fun. There are 76 ski trails—covering all
different skill levels—30 acres of gladed tree skiing, snowshoeing, snowskating, snowbiking, snowmobiling, sleigh rides, and horseback riding. Riders can get aerodynamically creative in the two award-winning freestyle terrain parks. Around Angel Fire, you can trek into national forests or high mountain meadows on backcountr y skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles. If you’re heading into unfamiliar terrain, get a guide.

Tubing enthusiasts, take note: Angel Fire is home to the Polar Coaster, the biggest tubing park in the Southern Rockies.

When it’s time to come in from the cold, frothy hot chocolate or a honey-infused hot toddy, enjoyed by the f ireside, will warm the bones. Until you’re ready to resume playing in the snow.
