Join us for a celebration of Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski & Snowshoe Area
and its founders John and Judy Miller of Red River

Because of unprecedented dry weather, this is the first year since the area opened in 1985 that Enchanted Forest has not opened.

Let’s ignore the weather and get together for a party!

“Just Desserts” Eat & Ski has been a tradition at Enchanted Forest for over 30 years. The theme is simple: Enchanted Forest puts homemade desserts from local restaurants (and avid bakers) out on a five-kilometer course and skiers ski or snowshoe out to the different sites and indulge in goodies like Apple-Raisin Bread Pudding with Jack Daniels Sauce, Tiramisu, Fudge, Cinnamon Rolls, ‘Better Than Sex’ Cake, Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie, Wild Blueberry Pie, Key Lime Pie, Coconut Rum Cake (dairy free), Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie, Banana Pudding, Multi-layer Chocolate Buttercream Torte.… and much more!

For this year’s event — Saturday, February 24, 2018, noon to 2 p.m. — we are waiving entry fees and instead are asking participants to donate whatever they see fit to help Enchanted Forest survive this drought. As with previous years, participants can also “vote” (with cash) for their favorite dessert (or desserts). Voting proceeds will benefit Red River Valley Charter School.

Additionally, in addition to desserts, this year we will serve complimentary posole, green chile stew and hot drinks (a mainstay of the Christmas Luminaria Tour that had to be canceled this season).

About Enchanted Forest

Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area, located 3.5 miles east of downtown Red River on the Carson National Forest, is New Mexico’s largest full-service cross-country ski area offering trails groomed for both classic and freestyle skiing, snowshoe trails and dog-friendly trails.

About Red River Valley Charter School

Red River Valley Charter School serves students from Pre-K through 8th grade. Its teachers use modern curricula like Sequential English — a multi-sensory program for teaching reading, writing, and spelling — and Everyday Mathematics, a rigorous curriculum developed by the University of Chicago Mathematics Project that challenges middle-school students to use math to solve real life problems. The rest comes from “Core Knowledge,” a sequential program that focuses on “cultural literacy” including the basic principles of constitutional government, world history, geography and widely acknowledged masterpieces of art and music, and classic literature.
