Have you planned your trip to Red River for the remainder of the winter season of 24/25? If not, you’re in luck! There are still many properties available and still many things to do for everyone in the family during this winter season. You don’t have to ski or snowboard to enjoy Red River. Take a day to snowmobile, snowshoe, or sit at the Lift House and people-watch that ski down The Face. Sitting at the property by a nice warm fire while you enjoy a cup of hot coffee or cocoa and playing a few different card games would even count as a great day in our book.
Outdoor Activities are a Ton of Fun in Red River!
The lifts are open for skiing, snowboarding and tubing through March, and lift passes are available every day. We recommend purchasing your lift tickets from the Red River Ski and Summer Area website before your arrival. Be sure to check out the deal days and college days promotions.
