Mostly sunny throughout the day. A bit slushy at the bottom of Platinum. Up top the groomers are well kept. Copper chair being shut down most of the day hurt the queuing - and lift line crowd management disintegrated. It was crowded. A few flakes falling circa 3pm up on silver and emerald. Any day on the snow is a good day.

<p>Red River Ski Area bills itself as "Ski Town of the Southwest." The whole town looks like a stage set from a favorite Western movie and - no surprise - is popular with vacationers from Texas and Oklahoma. The area has exceptionally easy access from town, with one chair rising a block off Main Street. Its terrain is mostly beginner and intermediate, but some people here avoid powder like the plague, so it can have some surprisingly good days for advanced skiers or boarders. Lots of excellent ski-stay deals for families. The toughest run is Catskinner.</p>
<h2>Where Is Red River Ski Area Located?</h2>
<p>The nearest major airport is Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is 171 miles from the resort, and the Santa Fe Municipal Airport is 116 miles away. The closet city is Taos, which is 37 miles from the resort. The Albuquerque International Sunport Airport is serviced by most major airlines.</p>

Some 90 percent of lodging is located within walking distance of the slopes, and consists mostly of modest motel and hotel rooms, and a decent range of condos.
