Red River Ski & Summer Area

My husband and I took the lift up to check it out. The ride was just over an hour with a great view! Definatly worth doing!

We spent Spring Break in Red River and had a good time. Lots of skiing/snow boarding with our family and eating out every night was nice. The food in the area was all good and we really liked Capo's. The only reason it was a three star is because some of the ski lift first aide team and personnel were very rude. One incident was extremely infuriating. The ski lodge employs workers from other counties that lack some communication and understanding skills. On our last day at the end of the day(of course) my wife got hurt. Riding the lift by the ski lodge to the mild slope a small child fell in the center of the lift. The crew at the top just watched the child struggle as my wife's chair approached. She was seated in the middle of three and when they exited the chair she tried to move around the fallen child. In doing so with three of them coming off the chair she fell as well. When she fell the chair actually hit her board and twisted her knee. She then pulled herself aside and made a comment to a first aide attendant,that happen to be at the top of the lift , they should have cleared the child or stopped the chairs. The attendants response was 'well are you hurt.' My wife kinda stunned replied they should have done something to clear the area for safety. Again the first aide responder said 'are you hurt' as if your not move along. When my wife and I met up she told me the story and said her knee did hurt from the incident but the young girl was so rude she just moved on. But at most injuries go the next day tells the tell. My wife woke up the next morning in pain and for the next several weeks had to favor her leg before recovering. We are an avid outdoor and gym family and she had to lay off of many activities till her leg healed. Our family has been to six different ski towns in Colorado and New Mexico and hadn't had this kind of treatment by staff and its sad. Red River seemed like a really neat place.

We had so much fun here tubing, on the zip line, and on the ropes course this summer with our friends. Great place for family adventures!

I would advise everyone to make sure its not going to rain that day or in our case a few sprinkles will close down everything. We spent almost $300 for sliding down one time and they werent wanting to refund the money. They also told my kids that once they got to the top they would be taken down but once they got to the top they were told to walk back down instead. Manager Eric was so quick to take our money at the time it was sprinkling and fast to shut down and not refund the money, as a manager he shouldnt have sold the tickets if he was going to shut down.

This is a very fun ski area in a nice little town with enough to do to have fun outside of skiing. As for the snow, the Silver Chair pod is a lot of fun and I have never found a crows back there. This resort has a great mix of groomed and ungroomed runs on the blue and black level that make the day fun and challenging.
