A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
We skied during the week between Christmas and New Year’s. It was crowded at times (to be expected). Snow was good enough quality, but the quantity of snow permitted only about a dozen runs to be open. This contributed to some long lift lines at times. The ski school is excellent and offers some great value with its inclusive packages, especially for young kids. It is not the cheapest mountain, nor is it among the most expensive. It is a very easy mountain to navigate with a family. ... Full Review

This was my first, ever, trip to a ski resort. I’d never been skiing, but my nephew’s wanted to go for the youngest’s birthday celebration. The boys had been snowboarding, before, but we were all going to try skiing. We had such an awesome time that we’re making it a family hobby. My 10 y/o niece and I took lessons, and she was already on the blue trails by day 4, with confidence. We’re going back in December! ... Full Review

Great mountain in Northern New Mexico, and friendly environment. However they don't get the most snow which makes it harder to ski. ... Full Review

Review of 2022 trip
The roads around the resort were good. The resort is super cute as you pull up. The front office staff are super nice and helpful. The lobby was nice and there was a spot to sit next to the fire.
We stayed in a room that had two queens and access to the atrium with a semi private patio. When we walked in I thought the room was huge for a hotel room! There was also a (fake) fire place going as our heater. Our room had a mini fridge and tons of storage. The access to the atrium was really neat. Our room looked at the mountain, we could see the plows all night or shut the curtain. We opened the door to the atrium patio if we got hot to cool the room.
The resort are STEPS from the mountain base. There are ski rental shops on site. We rented a locker at the base of the mountain. We put our kids in lessons and that was very helpful for them. We tubbed the first day. It was a great hour of fun. There is a magic carpet that you and your tube ride up and you speed down and race your friend. It is nice not to have to walk up the hill each time you tube!!!!
There are several options on site for food. The food is a little pricey (good quality though), but if you don’t want to leave you have options in walking distance. You can also use the mini fridge. There is a coffee shop on the lobby that serves starbucks (no SB gift cards can be used). We enjoyed walking to El Jefe over by the Chili Lift one night for a taco and drink. They played Jimmy Buffett and I got to gaze at the mountain, so cool!
We skied two days. We went after the holidays and there were no lines at the lifts. I would recommend warming up on the dream catcher lift and run, the transition to lift #2. Then jump on the Chili Express lift and head to the summit. Stop at the Summit Haus and check out the views before you pick a run. I loved Headed Home that has breathtaking views and takes you down to the base of the mountain. After two days of skiing I soaked I. The indoor hot tub. My son got in the indoor pool and played for a bit.
We grabbed an Angel Fire shirt and a cute tail sign for our wall at home to remember our trip. Overall, TERRIFIC spot to stay and ski! I will be back!! ... Full Review

We LOVE Ange Fire! It’s a great family resort. The people are so friendly and it’s more affordable than a lot of the other mountains! ... Full Review
I love this place. I'm an intermediate skier, but I stopped skiing years ago because of all the hassle with big ski areas. Angel Fire is the perfect combination of friendly, fun, and hassle free. It got me skiing again. I highly recommend it!... Full Review
