More Than Just Mountains

by Kent Wilhelmi January 2, 2017

As the frosty peaks of New Mexico welcome skiers and snowboarders of all ages, the neighboring towns and communities who call these mountains “home” entreat visitors right alongside them.

If perhaps sliding down a snowy slope isn’t quite your cup of tea, or if you’re looking to include some non-skiers in your next family vacation, take a gander at some of these offerings. The mountains of New Mexico have so much to offer, even after the lifts have stopped turning for the night.

Red River – Skijoring!
Saturday, January 14th – Sunday, January 15th

We think the photo says it all: literally defined, skijoring means “ski driving,” and Red River has the scoop on the largest event of its kind in the state. Will the kids like it? No – the kids will love it.

Chama – Chama Chili Classic

Angel Fire – World Championship Shovel Races

More Information
