The Tip And Deck - RED RIVER
The Tip And Deck
Description
RED RIVER Ski & Summer Area pairs small-town charm with practical ski offerings: well-maintained runs, a strong ski school, tubing, rentals and summer attractions like an aerial park and disc golf. Terrain suits beginners through blacks, with limited lift lines most days. Caveats include mostly man-made, hard-packed snow, occasional lift closures and crowding, inconsistent customer service, opaque lesson/ticket policies and some lifts lacking safety bars. Good for families and learners who expect rustic, affordable fun rather than luxury.

RRSA continues to delight and satisfy our every mountain need. This weekend, they went above and beyond! I won't elaborate, but we had a need to take some aspen pictures and Walt Foley and his crew accommodated us as only one can who operates a five star organization. They do a great job with the slopes, fussing year round on improvements, and summer time has become a large draw as well thanks to RRSA. We love this place and the residents and businesses who make this tiny town thrive!
First off, they were so rude to us and we were the only asian people there, how convenient. We had multiple workers talk to us like we were stupid and mansplain simple concepts to us. If the resort wants us to do things in a certain order then maybe they should put up a sign that tells us exactly what order to do them in. Second, the employees are so unprofessional. We saw two of the rental people start making out behind the counter, IN FRONT of all the customers. And this wasn't a short moment, this lasted 5 minutes. If you're dating your coworker that's fine but there's a time and place. Lastly, the price is crazy. Almost 200 dollars just to rent and go on the lift sounds like Colorado money. I went to New Mexico to ski so it would save me some money but I might as well have went to Aspen or something. Don't come here if you're asian or looking to save money, or even looking for professionalism because you won't find it here.
Another family friendly ski area in Northern NM. They have a really nice beginner area off Emerald chair. 2 lifts service the front of the mountain and both have mid stations. They have some really nice black runs. Reasonable food prices and very friendly staff. Really enjoyed my day of skiing. Not a fancy place but Lenny of skiing. Hit the town of Red River after your day skiing or riding.
We stayed three nights in Red River and enjoyed the experience. The skiing was good with mostly man made snow. The silver lift was closed while we were there, but we rarely had any wait in line at any of the lifts. There is one green from top to bottom and it is narrow and often packed with skiers/boarders, that was challenging getting through it across that trail to a blue. When busy, 12/31 afternoon, the area in front of the Lift House, was too crowded and a combination of people standing around, hanging out, and trying to get into line at the lift. We also tubed at Red River. You have to sign up in advance and it sells out quickly. The tubing staff was not that friendly and our reservation started late and ended early.
