While many may think that New Mexico is warm all year round, it has its cool months!

Skiing & Snowboarding

Red River has a wide variety of slopes and areas that make up a perfect ski destination.

Don’t let the name fool you – there is far more to do than just winter activities at this park. If you’re looking for a place to test your skills and make the most of your time, check out one of the multiple terrain parks! The Hollywood Terrain Park, with the biggest jumps, jibs, and hits, will appease any adrenaline craving.

Snowmobiling and ROVs

There is a multitude of different trails available for perusal, from casual trails around Sawmill Canon to a trail that will take you all the way up to Greenie Peak – 11,249 feet up! This unique way to see the mountain can allow for crazy gorgeous views of Red River while also getting the blood pumping as you cruise throughout the specially-made snowmobile trails. If ROVs (Recreational Off-Highway Vehicles) are more your style, take one of those instead! But don’t forget to read the rules and regulations!

Tubing

Barreling down a mountain is fun – barreling down a mountain in a tube is a rush! Enjoy the slopes of the Red River Ski and Summer Area in a new way by taking a dive down it in a tube! The views from the ski area are incredible, and sliding down the slopes in the tube provides a whole host of fun – especially for the whole family! Adrenaline junkies of all ages are welcome to get their hearts pumping.
