Shopping, Dinning & Entertainment: There are a variety of establishments offering spirits and live music for your enjoyment, so bring your dancing shoes. Some of the best shopping anywhere is right here in Red River. Whether you are looking for clothing, specialty items, unique gifts or souvenirs, the shopping search ends here. Red River also offers a wonderful dining experience to its residents and visitors, complete with warm, welcoming atmospheres and delicious foods!
Winter Skiing: Both New Mexico and Colorado have their share of spectacular ski areas, and Red River Ski Area ranks right up there with the best of them for one dramatic reason. We offer slopes for all levels of skiers, making this a true family ski paradise. Another fact you'll want to consider: Lift capacity is an astounding 7,920 skiers per hour, so you don't have to stand around waiting. Most of our ski runs deliver you right to the edge of town, so there's no long-distance driving (and parking) to contend with.
Of course, don’t forget cross-country. The Enchanted Forest Cross Country Ski Area atop 9,800-foot Bobcat Pass offers almost 20 miles of nicely groomed trails in a 1,400-acre park. Experience all kinds of terrain, not to mention all kinds of stirring mountain views, and probably even some wildlife.
Technical advances have made snowmobiling a lot more reliable, quieter, smoother and easier than ever. Our Snowmobile tour operators will escort you on day trips over more than 50 miles of freshly groomed trails. There are also more ambitious escorted adventures available, even to the top of 11,249-foot Greenie Peak. Bring your own machine, or rent.
There is a difference in ski areas, and the difference at Red River is the distinctive emphasis on fun for everyone in the family. Our 58 trails are equally divided for all skill levels: 30% expert, 38% intermediate and 32% beginner. Our nationally recognized ski school caters to all skill levels as well. And our new snowboard park keeps all of you well challenged and entertained.
We have the facilities to keep our resort skiable and fun all season. Fully 75% of the terrain is subject to snowmaking, so there isn't any downtime on our mountain. Our change in elevation is ideal, from 8,750 feet at the base to 10,350 at the summit!

Why the Owner Chose Red River
We have been enjoying staying in Red River escaping the hot summer for 30 years and when one of our friends told us that a Townhouse was for sale, we immediately drove to Red River, and made an offer. We have invested in many improvements since.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhouse
Our property is centrally located to everything in Red River. Across the street from the red chair lift, on the river and fishing ponds, an easy walk to groceries and restaurants.
Owner's Map of Red River
Carmen and Wayne Snyder have four adult children in their blended family and 13 grandchildren. We all gather in Red River at various times of the year and enjoy the mountain trails. Jeeps play a big part in our enjoyment of the mountains. This is all of the immediate family on one of our favorite trails.

Welcome to our guestbook! We are excited to share our ClaimJumper Townhouse experience with you. We want to hear about your experiences and particularly are interested in hearing about your suggestions for changes or improvements. While I have to say that no deal is perfect, spending a few days in the cool mountain air in the middle of summer is really close to it. Feel free to enjoy our mountain getaway as if it was your own. We hope you will come back often.
