If you're looking for the convenience of ski-in/ski-out lodging, your WorldMark resort in Red River, New Mexico, may be just the ticket. Located at the base of the Red River Ski and Snowboard Area, your resort is just 30 feet away from the nearest ski lift and only three blocks from the ski area's main entrance. In addition to skiing, you can also partake in snowboarding, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling.

While Red River (pop. 484) receives up to 188 inches of snow annually and is perfect for winter sports six months of the year, the area is also an ideal spot for other outdoor activities. Sunny 340 days a year, the resort invites you to spend the milder months hiking, biking, fishing, or horseback riding.

A visit to Red River—located at the southernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains in northern New Mexico—is not complete without a visit to nearby Taos or traversing the Enchanted Circle Tour. This National Scenic Byway circles Wheeler Peak, the highest in New Mexico, at 13,161 feet. Don't miss stopping along the way to see the works of local woodworkers, tinsmiths, painters, stained glass workers, and sculptors.
