MUST DO Family Activity

Feb 20, 2019 by Kelsie Stelting

A highlight of my winter was taking my family on vacation to Red River, New Mexico. My husband and I were eager to snowboard, for our son to try skiing for the first time, and to have a little bonding with our one-year-old! One of our favorite parts of the entire trip was going tubing! Here are a few reasons why you should try it too:

1. The entire family can get involved

Trying to plan activities for people of all ages can be difficult, but I’m happy to say we managed it with tubing. We bundled up the children, went to the mountain, and rented a couple of tubes. While my husband or I held the one-year-old, the other one went down the hill with the four-year-old! It was a perfect time for all of us to be out and about.

2. Tubing could be a more economical option

Let’s be honest: taking a family of four (or more) skiing can get pricey. If you’re wanting to get on the slopes but aren’t ready to pay for lift tickets, rentals, lessons, and more, tubing is a great alternative. At Red River, it only costs $20 to rent a tube, and you can share it with the entire crew!

3. Less time commitment

At Red River, tubing sessions last an hour. It was simple to feed the children, load them up, get on the slopes, have some fun, and then head to other events. (We decided to watch the Torchlight Parade right afterward!)

4. It’s fun!

Like I mentioned earlier, tubing was so much fun, for all of us. Our four-year-old happily told his grandparents about tubing (“not sledding”) afterward and what a great time he had.

If you’re looking for an activity the entire family can enjoy for minimal expense, try renting a tube and watch just how much fun you’ll have!

We Love the Ladies!

Feb 8, 2019 by monica

I’ve always wanted to have best girl friends like from Sex and the City, GIRLS, or The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. A group of gals who will cheer me on, laugh with me, comfort me while I cry, and experience the highs and lows of life by my side! Now, a few events in New Mexico are bringing women together for a time of fun and friendship on the slopes! Don’t miss out on this chance to get away, go skiing, and meet some new friends.

Women’s Week

Taos Ski Valley – Feb. 10-15

Imagine the best week ever and add cocktails. Experience lessons taught by women trained in the best techniques for women skiers. You’ll get video analysis to track your improvements, a talk on how women’s anatomy affects skiing and equipment choices, and discounts from local shops. Learn More

Burton Women’s Snowboard Camp

Ski Santa Fe – Feb. 16-17

Women of every level are welcome to learn from our female instructors. In small groups, you’ll be able to work on turns or practice new park tricks, using free demo boards provided by Burton! Learn More

The Women’s Clinic

Pajarito Mountain – Thursdays

Enjoy Pajarito’s free women’s clinic, where women can improve their skills, learn more about skiing styles and equipment, and discover strength-training exercises to do in the off season. The clinic takes place each Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. All you need to bring is your equipment and lift ticket. Learn More

 

Visit the websites linked above to learn more about the events and to register. This is a great opportunity for the solo female traveler or for a group of friends. You’ll end your time with new friends, improved skills, and great memories.

The Best Views in New Mexico

Feb 6, 2019 by Kelsie Stelting

There are some views you can’t walk right up to or drive by on the highway. Some breathtaking wonders require getting off the beaten path and reaching new heights, especially in New Mexico. There are wonderful scenic routes throughout the state, but our top eight come from New Mexico ski area peaks.

Angel Fire Resort

Look over the ski lodge, beautiful plains, and snow-covered trees from the top of the lift!

 

Pajarito Mountain

Enjoy a panoramic view from the top of Pajarito Mountain. A simple lift ride will give you 360-degree views for miles.

 

Red River Ski Area

Take in the surrounding mountains and all their colors from runs at Red River. Each way you turn will give you a new experience.

 

Sandia Peak

Wonder at Albuquerque and a vast expanse New Mexico from Sandia Peak. You can take the tramway for a scenic experience!

 

Sipapu

Catch some stunning sunsets at Sipapu. We hear they look even better with a snowboard or skis!

 

Ski Apache

The drive up to Ski Apache is stunning, but nothing beats the view from the peak. Check it out for yourself.

 

Ski Santa Fe

Every day gives a new view at Ski Santa Fe. Grab a friend or family member and take in the sights together.

 

Taos Ski Valley

Try not to get too distracted going down the slopes at Taos Ski Valley. You might need to take a “breather” to truly appreciate the area!

 

Whether you’ve never visited New Mexico before or have a favorite spot you see each year, make an effort to see some of the most picturesque views this year. There’s still time left this season to vacation in the mountains and make memories of your own.
