Welcome to Angel Fire, a charming winter resort cradled in the breathtaking Sangre de Cristo Mountains. As the mayor of this growing mountain village, I'm thrilled to invite you to experience the winter magic that is Angel Fire.

The Village of Angel Fire partnered with Maison Rose Agency, a boutique digital marketing and creative agency, to collaboratively create an immersive Visit Angel Fire website.The custom-design process, meticulously undertaken over several months, involved identifying the target audience, defining objectives and developing the brand image to accurately represent the beauty and allure of Angel Fire.

In May 1968, when US Marine Corps officers made their way out to Dr. Victor Westphall on his Val Verde Ranch he was busy digging a water line he hoped would make a lush, green golf course on the 800-acre ranch – a ranch he envisioned as a resort that would also include homes and a small ski area.

Inviting everything from tear drop trailers to 40+-foot Class A Motorhomes, Angel Fire provides some of the best recreational-vehicle experiences imaginable – and that includes the winter season!

Rocky Mountain highs are Angel Fire Resort's specialty. Opening Dec. 15 and staying open a whole week longer 'til March 24, the Resort knows that doing things together creates emotional bonds that no electronic gadgets, toys or fancy clothes can come close to.

First there was The Bump, a coffee shop in the Village of Angel Fire since 2017. It was a favorite of locals seeking espresso and a place to meet. Taty (pronounced TAHtie), a sandwich shop, was located across the street. Hannah Merrick, one of the owners of Taty, had been a manager of The Bump after moving to Angel Fire from Albuquerque. In fact it’s hard to find an eatery in the village that Hanna and her partner, Phil Master, have not worked in.

It is never hard to get into the holiday spirit in the mountains — snow, after all, does the work for you — but Angel Fire knows how to roll out the jingle bells for locals and visitors alike

We warmly welcome you to our serene little village in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Imagine cozying up under a pile of blankets while being pulled through the woods by bog, beautiful draft horses. Roadrunner Tours owner/operator Nancy Burch offers old-fashioned sleigh rides for groups.

When the Carson National Forest opened Forest Road 76 back up in the middle of September, allowing access to 75,000 acres of the forests, everyone was anxious to see what they had done. Just a little background—when the Hermits Peak prescribed burn began April 8, 2022, access to the forests was not recommended.

Stevie Lund is self-possessed and, in a way, just plain possessed with one desire for all her students, young and old, beginner to advanced: That they will learn to love skiing, and that, as a result, their lives will never be the same. A ski instructor since age 14, Lund last year was named “Ski Instructor of the Year” by Ski New Mexico’s “Best of the Best.” She has earned other accolades, too, having competed in the national United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association Ra…
