Northern New Mexico's Vacation Destination
From it's early days as a tiny Rocky Mountain outpost, Angel Fire has evolved into Northern New Mexico's premier family resort community. Located in the Sangre de Cristo range of New Mexico's Southern Rocky Mountains, Angle Fire offers a wealth of outdoor recreation year-round.

In the winter of course, there is skiing, skiing and skiing. In Angel Fire, you can ski at night. But that's not all. The Angel Fire Resort is New Mexico's snowboarding capitol, with two phenomenal freestyle parks. Angel Fire also offers cross country skiing and snow shoeing for those who prefer the back country. And for a bigger look at the snowy wilderness, snowmobiling is for you. Need a break from all that exertion? Try ice fishing, sledding, tubing, or an old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh ride.
