Pre 2011-2012 Winter Season What's New!

What's New? This season, you’ll find new upgrades inside the Main Chalet and Cafeteria as well as better “flow” to our tickets and rental areas.  Our new automated snowmaking on the Silver Chair, also known as the “West Bowl” will ensure earlier opening of trails off the “Main Runs”. In addition, our professional grooming and snowmaking crews are always ramping it up to ensure the best conditions throughout the mountain.  New on-hill signage will help finding “your” way a little easier.  Check out the new upgrades to the Moon-Star Mining Camp, a family favorite.  While you’re cruising or taking a lesson, don’t forget to “WAVE” as you go by our new Live Cams on the learning hills, and at the top of the Platinum Chairlift!  And if that isn’t enough excitement for you, we’ll be hosting a number of USASA events in our terrain parks this season, as well as reintroducing the old favorite “Winter Carnival”.  Don’t forget to visit us in the summer, too!  We offer Summer Mountain Tubing on the longest lanes in the country.  Take a cruise up the Platinum Chairlift to see the sights, take a hike through the aspens, or just take in the views of the peaks on the deck of our Tip Restaurant and, while you’re up there, you can play our 18 holes of Disc Golf.  Red River offers tons of events all summer long, so there isn’t a shortage of entertainment, and you can even catch some of them on the mountain.     

Red River Values:  Half Price weekends on December 2-4 and December 9-11, 2011 offer savings on lodging, lift tickets, lessons and rentals.  “Never – ever” skier and snowboarder packages for all ages offer at least 25 percent savings on lessons, lift ticket, and rental equipment.

On The Mountain at Red River:  Grab either of the two lifts from the center of town to the top of Red River’s portion of the Rocky Mountains where the Tip Restaurant is located, featuring awesome views of the town and surrounding mountains.  From there it’s downhill in 3 directions.  Slide off the back to the Moon Star Mining Camp for a lovely trip through the aspens; head down the mountain’s front for a long and winding cruise back to the base of the lift; or jump off the side into a maze of bumps and runs that earn their diamonds. Try your abilities in one of our three terrain parks designed for beginner to expert.  In the afternoon, discover the sunny west side of the mountain and the short but sweet runs off the Silver Chair or explore the twists and turns of the Copper Chair runs in the woods and over the Rio Rojo (the Red River).  This is a cruiser’s hill that offers steep pitches, too, and easy-to-catch chair rides back to the top of the mountain.  Try some tubing after the ski day is done, and don’t forget The Lift House Bar & Grill for Après Ski and our Rail Jams and Torchlight Parades.
