Red River, NM named BEST SKI TOWN 2021

Dec 3, 2021 by monica

Beyond convenient access to the slopes, what makes the best ski town? For some, it’s having access to fantastic restaurants, bars, and shops. For others, it’s about great accommodations, a small-town vibe, or a historic atmosphere. To find the best ski towns for 2021, a panel of experts selected 20 nominees, then our readers voted for the 10 best.

Red River NM

Red River invites visitors to visit the โ€œSki Town of the Southwestโ€ and take a skiing vacation in this community located in the Southern Rockies just north of Taos, New Mexico. Their ski schools offer learning experiences for everyone, and the ski area promises minimal lift lines and fresh powder that lasts days after a storm. With an average annual snowfall of over two hundred inches, over fifty trails for intermediate, expert, and beginners, and Saturday night torchlight parades and fireworks, Red River offers the perfect getaway for skiers of all ages and expertise.

The top 10 winners in the category Best Ski Town are as follows: 

  1. Red River, New Mexico
  2. North Conway, New Hampshire
  3. Rossland, British Columbia
  4. Stowe, Vermont
  5. Banff, Alberta
  6. Bethel, Maine
  7. Breckenridge, Colorado
  8. Salt Lake City, Utah
  9. Nelson, British Columbia
  10. Park City, Utah

Congratulations to all these winning towns!
