Angel Fire Resort

The year-round resort town of Angel Fire New Mexico is located in a wooded high mountain valley in Carson National Forest. This scenic resort is carved into the beautiful Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains with terrain that is perfect for skiers and snowboarders. In fact lots of winter activities are available, including cross country skiing, snowshoeing, tubing, ice skating, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, snow blades, snow skates, and ice fishing to mention a few.

For a unique experience try visiting during the annual World Shovel Races, held in mid February every year since the early 70’s. The concept of racing down a hill on a snow shovel was started by lift operators who started using their work shovels as a quick way to ride back to the mountain base after the workday. The festivities include race clinics, snow shovel sculpture contests, children’s activities and evening entertainment.

Here you’ll find the state’s only two high-speed detachable quad chairlifts, (one on each side of the mountain.) and three doubles.
