Red River Ski & Summer Area Reviews

Cheryl Frost

One of the best ski towns around. You can definitely walk all over town to shop, eat, some condos offer door to ski lift just walk out the door and catch the lift. Tubing at night is a definite must, just make sure you get tickets 3 days ahead. We didn't and still go in the 2nd round, but if you want the 430pm round you have to move on it. Ski lessons should also be purchased 3 days ahead.

I would advise everyone to make sure its not going to rain that day or in our case a few sprinkles will close down everything. We spent almost $300 for sliding down one time and they werent wanting to refund the money. They also told my kids that once they got to the top they would be taken down but once they got to the top they were told to walk back down instead. Manager Eric was so quick to take our money at the time it was sprinkling and fast to shut down and not refund the money, as a manager he shouldnt have sold the tickets if he was going to shut down.

We spent Spring Break in Red River and had a good time. Lots of skiing/snow boarding with our family and eating out every night was nice. The food in the area was all good and we really liked Capo's. The only reason it was a three star is because some of the ski lift first aide team and personnel were very rude. One incident was extremely infuriating. The ski lodge employs workers from other counties that lack some communication and understanding skills. On our last day at the end of the day(of course) my wife got hurt. Riding the lift by the ski lodge to the mild slope a small child fell in the center of the lift. The crew at the top just watched the child struggle as my wife's chair approached. She was seated in the middle of three and when they exited the chair she tried to move around the fallen child. In doing so with three of them coming off the chair she fell as well. When she fell the chair actually hit her board and twisted her knee. She then pulled herself aside and made a comment to a first aide attendant,that happen to be at the top of the lift , they should have cleared the child or stopped the chairs. The attendants response was 'well are you hurt.' My wife kinda stunned replied they should have done something to clear the area for safety. Again the first aide responder said 'are you hurt' as if your not move along. When my wife and I met up she told me the story and said her knee did hurt from the incident but the young girl was so rude she just moved on. But at most injuries go the next day tells the tell. My wife woke up the next morning in pain and for the next several weeks had to favor her leg before recovering. We are an avid outdoor and gym family and she had to lay off of many activities till her leg healed. Our family has been to six different ski towns in Colorado and New Mexico and hadn't had this kind of treatment by staff and its sad. Red River seemed like a really neat place.

This is a very fun ski area in a nice little town with enough to do to have fun outside of skiing. As for the snow, the Silver Chair pod is a lot of fun and I have never found a crows back there. This resort has a great mix of groomed and ungroomed runs on the blue and black level that make the day fun and challenging.

Sabrina Rogers

Love Red River Ski Area. This is our third year skiing here. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. There are tons of different slopes for everyone. Cute little town. We have such a great time. Will definitely go again!

cole clark

Love this place for skiing. This was my first skiing experience, and loved it!!

Gene Williams

The guys at the snowboarding park at Red River are awesome! Specifically Isaac! They were super friendly and even let me take a quick run right after the park closed before they were cleaning up for the day. I will definitely be back. Not crowded and we had great snow!

BA Reich

Haven't been here in 10 years. Forgot how many runs they had. Pretty good snow this year and they have extensive snow making. No wait in lift lines on week days and never over 5 minutes Valentine's weekend.

Sandra M Gallegos

Great place to ski and snowboard. Our family has had a blast here. Toddler did well with ski school. The town is also super amazing.

Michelle Raelynn

I really enjoy coming here. I am not a very good skier. Im very cautious. Red river has slopes that are perfect for me and for the more experienced skiers. The town if fun. You can walk around and enjoy shopping and dinning!

Linda McKenney

These folks work harder than most to give you the greatest experience for the most reasonable price.

Bret Miller

Nice ski area, but just beware that the kids that are running the lifts are in control of the place. Im sitting in line waiting to board the gold rush lift and they are playing music filled with profanity. You would think the owners would control this.

Lisa Smith

We ALWAYS have an amazing time at RR. This trip we were fortunate enough to get 8' of fresh powder during our stay. Wonderful skiing on the mountain. We will be back again next month!

Jazmin Lopez

So i went to RR for the first time on valentines day weekend, felt in love with the place. But i had an accident up high in the trails, and I lost my board. I try looking for it, but it was impossible to find it, and I was in a lot of pain. So as soon as I could i went to the Lost and found, ski patrol, and the help desk, and as i thought no one had seen it or turned it in. I was so upset because that board meant a lot to me and i couldn't believe i had lost it. Since i am from Dallas, I had to go back home that weekend, but I kept calling every day to ask if anyone had found it. I was loosing hope of ever recuperating my board, and i stop calling. Until yesterday, 2 weeks after I had lost it, i got a text from WESLEY at Red River, and they told me they found it. Thank You so much !!! Wesley, i know i was a pain, but you have been amazing help. I cant thank you enough and everyone who help. I am truly happy and so exited to go back. Thank you all at RED RIVER / WESLEY- JAZ

Don Bri

The rooms were clean and maintained. We really liked its location to the ski resort, the lift was right outside our window.

John Romero

Northern New Mexico /Red River is a fun ski town with good food, a quiet peaceful atmosphere and a cool ski mountain where you can enjoy true NM adventure. This is where you come to get away from the crowds.

Chase James

Best kept skiing secret since 1997. No place like it.

Lincoln Parks

Been going there for 40 years and love it. Small but we love it that way!

David

Red River is a prime ski area in New Mexico. Probably the most northern most in NM. Really fun mountain with a beer and food up top. The park has rails, boxes and jumps from beginner to pretty intermediate. Snow conditions change through out the day so that can vary. Overall great mountain and will be going back for a long time .

Michelle Sanders

My husband and I took the lift up to check it out. The ride was just over an hour with a great view! Definatly worth doing!

Jackie Cheney

Friendly service, great snow, great place!

Nikki Anderson

We had so much fun here tubing, on the zip line, and on the ropes course this summer with our friends. Great place for family adventures!

C.W. Harper

The crew at Red River do a great job of dealing with very little natural snowfall. The skiing was wonderful despite mother nature.

David Mendoza

Lots of fun

Haley Brown

So much fun! My family and I took the ski lift and went hiking and saw so many beautiful sites! This is for sure a must see and do when visiting Red River, you won't regret it! We came back a few days later to go tubing and man was that a blast!! My 6 year old loved it! And once she saw the ski lift, she wanted to go right back up and enjoy hiking again!

Bryce Campbell

Great place to go for all ages especially with kids. Their prices are the best for what they offer

JR Quijada

This place is great, for a 1st time ski experience I can't think of anything I didn't have or anything I wish was better. I'd recommend for sure and I'll be coming back here.

Pamela Wright

Was excited to come and ride the lift round trip like we did when I was younger. However after purchasing my lift pass I was told that they arent letting people do that today. Was very disappointed with the waste of money

Will Beauchamp

Small friendly town and a great place for a beginner skier to learn to Ski!Went there a couple times with friends back when I was a greenhorn skier many years ago. Loved the place. Great lodging and food there to! Hope to go back someday...

Jenny Salazar

We had a great time skiing! Staff is very polite and accommodating! Wish there would have been real snow, but mother nature is in charge of that detail. Great town and ski conditions!

Mary Smith

Great place! Super friendly, loved the folks at the Best Western! Mountain Treasures and Anchovies Pizza were the places to eat! Real friendly locals! Only thing preventing me from giving Red River a five was my ski instructor. Great skier but real impatient with me. I asked how long he'd been skiing & he said since childhood. Well, great! Some didn't learn til they were older dude...be a little more tolerant! Update: that is okay about the ski instructor. I don't wish to get him in trouble. He probably did me a favor by telling me the truth even though I didn't like hearing it.

Itzel Itzel

We bought the $77 Lift pass but not the skis. Turns out you can only go up and down the Lift with skis. Why would someone buy the lift but not the skis? Disappointed at the lack of information on the website and from personnel.

Kenneth Hilton

If you go to Red River and don't instantly fall in love with the town, we can't be friends.

Tonya Applegarth

What an amazing venue for a wedding! The affordability of this venue with all the amenities that were available to us to host over 100 people for an outdoor wedding, dinner and dancing helped to make a 'perfect' wedding for our daughter. Karen Kelly was fantastic with her communication with every little question that I asked for over a year preparing for that wonderful day on June 4. My husband and I highly recommend this venue and are so happy with the decision that we made to host our daughter's wedding at Red River Ski Area (Gold Rush Hill and The Main Chalet). Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful hospitality and service. This place will always hold special memories for our entire family!

J.M. Hayes Cattle

The staff here is awesome. They went out of their way to help my young children. This was by far one of the best places we have been on vacation. It was not so crowded that you felt hurried all the time.

David Drott

Spent a week after Christmas 2015 and it was amazing. Kids had never skied and after a 1/2 day with RR instructor they were already on the Gold chairlift which was the perfect learning hill, both kids advanced up the hill throughout the week. They would also see their instructor on the 'hill' and he would always stop and ask how they were doing and give pointers. Really a first class guy! The rest of the mountain provided plenty of challenge and 15/16 was a banner snow year. The lift operators were all very courteous and fun! We are returning this winter and will continue to count RR as one of our Favs! Keep up the great service!

Shannon Prothro

Best ski town in the west! I learned to ski at Red River in the 80s & my children have learned at Red River too! Ski school is phenomenal & we've had several fantastic instructors over the years. We love that the town is easy to get around & nothing is far from the lifts. Very family friendly! Summertime in Red River is pretty great too!

Lea Lashley

Haven't been here in 10 years and I missed it. Great mountain for the whole family. Not crowded, organized lift lines, plenty of room to kick back and relax between runs in the lodge, and great cabin rentals accommodations from red river real estate!

George Brian

Good for beginning skiers, very friendly staff.

Jon Brooks

With all the numerous options out there to spend time with your family and friends skiing and enjoying what the mountains have to offer, I find myself coming back to Red River more and more. I grew up skiing and have always loved the sport. I have been to just about every resort in NM and CO, and I can tell you that there is absolutely NO better experience (especially for families or groups) than coming to the town of Red River and skiing at RRSA. Everything is convenient and first class.

Jamie Hasenbalg

I'm very big about writing reviews on my experiences rather they are good or bad. Red River Ski Area is AMAZING! I'm in my mid thirties and have never been skiing. I hate the cold, I hate the snow and I especially hate falling down! My husband who is a big skier talked me into at least trying to learn with an instructor. I gave in and agreed. The ski Instructor Bob was fantastic!! He was so patient with me and taught in a way that everything made sense. After only an hour I had the basics down!! I couldn't believe it! They have a slope where the beginners learn it's called the 'Magic Carpet' It has like an escalator that you stand on and it brings you to the top of the little hill which is great, that way you don't have to deal with the ski lift as well as trying to learn to ski for the first time. It's also perfect for children! To my surprise I actually really loved skiing, I truly believe it was the staff at Red River Ski Area that made that possible for me. Everything from the rental of my ski equipment to my lesson was effortless! Everyone was soo friendly, Lenton the owner and Walt the GM was fantastic! They are so involved with the resort and making sure everyone is having fun it's really amazing! They even cheered me on as I came down the slope! I have already starting telling all my friends that I'm taking them there to learn how to ski, I believe in my heart there's NO better place to learn! I have only experienced the magic carpet hill and the bunny hill but my husband said the other slopes are awesome as well, they have something there for everyone! Thanks y'all for the experience of a life time!! I will definitely be spreading the word!! :)

Butch Davis

A nice place to Ski within driving distance for us. Everyone is helpful and friendly. The parking lot was muddy and the roads in and out to the lifts had many potholes. The bathrooms are a tad bit small but clean. The crowd was decent and not overcrowded. Overall we had a great time ! We would come back again.

Kimberly Garcia

First time skiing, Red River was awesome, food 2 1/2 stars, River Side Lodge & Cabins nice place for the price. Fudge Factory for sweets and rentals great price and don't bother going any where else. Mark turned us around on equipment and knowledge of the Red River.

Jeremy White

My first time to ski here was GREAT! Friendly people, laid back atmosphere, & within walking distance to my motel! I loved it! Definitely will be back again!!

Terrible experience! Do not stay at the Ponderosa Lodge. Management is rude and unprofessional. Had to call paramedics because hot tub (which was recently repaired) emitted chlorine gas and we had to evacuate. My 10 year old daughter had reaction to chemicals. The desk clerk agreed their was a problem and had to open doors and windows, until the manager showed up. Then she changed her tune. We had to leave at 9 pm and find another place to stay. The manager had no concern for my daughter's well being. They were trying to cover their rear. I called the owner and he gave the typical response of most business' these days. Rude and no accountability. The lift tickets office ripped us off and would not give a discount for bargain days at time of purchase. Had to insist on refund before we left and still got ripped off. To top it off, seems as though they are hiring foreigners (foreign visa,not illegals)over Americans to operate their lifts, which one was shut down for 20 minutes because of inept worker. Never going back.

James Taylor

True paradise!!

Christopher Cockrum

Red River is an excellent place for both beginner and experienced skiers and snowboarders alike. The trails are great and the lift house is always a nice place to grab some chili.

Karan Abshire

Family of five just participated in a Children's Mardi Gras parade and the Gator Plunge. Oh what fun!!!

Preston Parkhill

I love the place been going to RR for the past 4 years never a let down. the town is amazing could not ask for a better time!!!

Stanley Crawford

Truly a great mountain! Very diverse terrain for any level of skiier! My friends had a great time on gold rush hill learning to snowboard while me and some other friends were able to ski more advanced runs such as cat skinner. Great management and overall efficency. The one thing I would love to see for next time I come would be a high speed quad because the platinum chair isn't exactly the fastest.
