Location: Angel Fire, New Mexico, USA (Near Taos 3 hours to Albuquerque, 10 to Dallas, 5 Amarillo) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 1 Bath (Sleeps 6-8)
Our comfortable condo in the Gold Creek building is very close to the Ski lifts, including the high speed quad, the "Chili Express". We measured the distance with a laser rangefinder, and it is only 270 yards to the Chile lift line.
Great views of Wheeler peak from here, and summers are delightfully cool and refreshing at 8600 feet elevation. Get away from that Texas and Oklahoma heat for a while, and enjoy golf, fishing, horseback riding and hiking in the beautiful Moreno valley of northern New Mexico.
The unit has no AC.... even in the summer, it is cool with a window open. Climb the tallest summit in New Mexico, Wheeler Peak, at over 13000'. Fishing for trout and yellow perch is terrific in Eagle Nest Lake, and anglers can ply the forest streams for coolwater trout. Hunters will find abundant elk, some deer and blue grouse nearby on National Forest land. The fall is particularly breathtaking, with the aspens coloring the mountains in a golden patchwork, and the wily bull elk bugling in the distance....a uniquely wild sound of the mountains.
In the winter, skiing is king, and snowboarders love the new terrain parks. Ample snowmaking will keep your family on the slopes even when other resorts run out of snow. This unit is close enough to head home for lunch and avoid those overpriced greasy burgers at the slopes. If your younger skiers tire before the lifts shut down, they can find refuge and snuggle up in front of the toasty wood stove and enjoy a few cartoons or movies (DVD or VCR). The unit has electric radiant heat throughout, but the wood stove is more fun! Firewood is stacked near the condo building entrance.
Shoppers and historians will enjoy Taos, a mere 35 minutes or so away, with many artisans shops, restaurants, and a lengthy history going back to the Spanish explorers hundreds of years ago. The area is so appealing that many movie stars have their homes here, including Julia Roberts. Or head down to Santa Fe for even more variety, about 90 minutes away.
Note: Our prices listed below are all inclusive. There are no add ons for taxes (typically another 12.5 %), nor extra cleaning fees. We do charge $50 for each well trained dog you bring along.
No telephone, bring your cell phone.
Please note: We consider reservations confirmed at the time we receive payment. Until that time, dates from your inquiries are not guaranteed.

Condo Next to Lifts ..Booking Now for Cool Summer Getaways
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Angel Fire
Best place in NM.... a very friendly community. We could only afford one place and this offers the best all around, year round recreation opportunities.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Our place is so close to the lifts that we can go back to the condo for a break, nap or lunch and then continue skiing afterward.
A great place to fish for trout and yelow perch. Sometime, we plan to hire a local outfitter and do some "icehole" fishing in the winter.
Owner's Map of Angel Fire
Angel Fire is a family oriented ski area, the best for families in New Mexico... and it has the fastest lifts! So when we bought a ski condo, naturally it was in Angel Fire. Our kids were 6 and 8 years old at the time.
We also love the hiking and fishing in the area, and enjoy the wonderfully cool summers as a getaway from Albuquerque. We like to go backpacking up Wheeler peak and camp in a secluded basin, and watch bighorn sheep from our camp.
Our kids are teenagers now, and they out ski us easily, but no problem... we meet up at the condo when they make it back.
