Spring Conditions
Red River has been blessed with plenty of great snow this season. In fact, word on the street is that both ski areas are in the best condition they've been in in years. Even those narrow, steep, nearly hidden trails are open for daredevil skiers and snowboarders looking to get off the "beaten path."  Each day we look up at the gorgeous, uncrowded trails and think about how lucky we are to live in such a great place. In the spring the sun comes out, windows are rolled down, and you can actually get away with shorts every once in a while. Folks congregate on the deck at the Lift House between runs, and you can hear the sounds of Bob Marley and other island-themed music resonating through the valley until the sun starts to dip behind the mountain. The days are longer, the snow is softer, and the people are happier.

Dog Days

Beach Weeks aren't the only thing going on this spring break.  If you're into traveling with your four-legged friends make sure you hit the Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski & Snowshoe Area for Dog Days. The EFXC expands their usual 5k of dog-friendly trails to all 30k of trails so you and your pooch can roam New Mexico's largest full service XC and snowshoe area together! Need a place to stay? Check out one of Red River's fourteen pet-friendly lodges at RedRiver.org/lodging.
