REDESIGNED TERRAIN PARK Under the direction of one of the most prolific terrain park designers in the country, Angel Fire Resort’s Liberation Terrain Park will undergo a complete transformation. Jon Eppler, who has created parks for major events including The Winter X-Games and The Burton U.S. Open, has been busy during the summer season creating what will be the new Liberation Park. The expansion will include a wider range of user-friendly features, which enables riders to build their skills by experiencing progressive features throughout the park. Eppler is a second-generation terrain park developer and feels that it’s imperative to create a mountain with uniformity and intuitive progressive features so that riders and skiers of all abilities can improve.
WHAT’S NEW and Noteworthy NEW WINTER RV RESORT This winter Angel Fire Resort will offer a new place for skiers, riders and families to catch some z’s under the stars at the brand new luxury RV Resort. The Angel Fire RV Resort, which opened in May, includes a well-appointed private clubhouse, paved roads, oversized concrete pads with easy pull-through access and 30/50-amp electrical pedestals, DirecTV access, bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, convenient Wi-Fi access, a Jacuzzi, dog parks and more. With frontage access to US Highway 64, the multi-million dollar RV Resort will offer guests access to fine dining and a mountain full of outdoor activities.
EXPANDED SNOW MAKING: Even with a big snow year expected, Angel Fire Resort is still investing in new snow making equipment to provide skiers and boarders the best snow conditions in New Mexico. The new snow guns will allow the resort to make snow more efficiently and at warmer temperatures. These improved snow making technologies will also allow Angel Fire to open more of its mountain earlier in the season. “We are really excited to see how things play out this year. With the expected El Niño and the new snow making equipment combined, it will allow us to give families the ultimate winter mountain experience and the best snow to enjoy it,” states Jamie Seifert, mountain operations manager, Angel Fire Resort.
PLATINUM ADVANTAGE: Platinum Members, don’t forget that your membership includes use of the Platinum locker room at the base of the mountain plus complimentary ski and snowboard storage. Please stop by the Membership desk after December 4, 2015 to obtain your keys. December is a great time for Platinum Members to get a complimentary wax & tune for their skis or snowboard to start the season off right.

REDESIGNED TERRAIN PARK Under the direction of one of the most prolific terrain park designers in the country, Angel Fire Resort’s Liberation Terrain Park will undergo a complete transformation. Jon Eppler, who has created parks for major events including The Winter X-Games and The Burton U.S. Open, has been busy during the summer season creating what will be the new Liberation Park. The expansion will include a wider range of user-friendly features, which enables riders to build their skills by experiencing progressive features throughout the park. Eppler is a second-generation terrain park developer and feels that it’s imperative to create a mountain with uniformity and intuitive progressive features so that riders and skiers of all abilities can improve.
WHAT’S NEW and Noteworthy NEW WINTER RV RESORT This winter Angel Fire Resort will offer a new place for skiers, riders and families to catch some z’s under the stars at the brand new luxury RV Resort. The Angel Fire RV Resort, which opened in May, includes a well-appointed private clubhouse, paved roads, oversized concrete pads with easy pull-through access and 30/50-amp electrical pedestals, DirecTV access, bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, convenient Wi-Fi access, a Jacuzzi, dog parks and more. With frontage access to US Highway 64, the multi-million dollar RV Resort will offer guests access to fine dining and a mountain full of outdoor activities.
EXPANDED SNOW MAKING: Even with a big snow year expected, Angel Fire Resort is still investing in new snow making equipment to provide skiers and boarders the best snow conditions in New Mexico. The new snow guns will allow the resort to make snow more efficiently and at warmer temperatures. These improved snow making technologies will also allow Angel Fire to open more of its mountain earlier in the season. “We are really excited to see how things play out this year. With the expected El Niño and the new snow making equipment combined, it will allow us to give families the ultimate winter mountain experience and the best snow to enjoy it,” states Jamie Seifert, mountain operations manager, Angel Fire Resort.
PLATINUM ADVANTAGE: Platinum Members, don’t forget that your membership includes use of the Platinum locker room at the base of the mountain plus complimentary ski and snowboard storage. Please stop by the Membership desk after December 4, 2015 to obtain your keys. December is a great time for Platinum Members to get a complimentary wax & tune for their skis or snowboard to start the season off right.
