Five Things to Know About Angel Fire Resort’s Opening Weekend
ANGEL FIRE, NM - (December 10, 2019) – Angel Fire Resort (www.AngelFireResort.com) located in northern New Mexico, has benefited from late fall storms that have tracked over the southwest. The storms are providing the northern New Mexican mountains with a few inches of consistent snow with each storm. The family-friendly resort kicks off ski season this Friday, December 13, with a 52” of natural snow. The mountain operations team has also been taking advantage of the colder temperatures throughout the past four weeks making snow in anticipation of this year’s opening. With over 85 skiable acres, Liberation Terrain Park, 4 chairlifts and two moving carpets, and two of the four-lanes of the Polar Coaster Tubing Hill all open this Friday, resort officials are celebrating the return of the winter ski season.
“We’ve been working around the clock to get our mountain ready for the winter season. We anticipate with the natural storms and continued cold temperatures for our snowmaking, we will be able to announce several more trail openings very soon and look forward to a great season,” explains Greg Ralph, marketing director, Angel Fire Resort.
