Ski Area Update

Just a quick update: We're now into our second weekend at the ski area, with a perfect combination of fresh an man made snow. We had another storm this week that brought in a few inches, but the REAL accumulation began when temperatures dipped into the single digits and the snowmaking crew started converting millions of gallons of water into beautiful white snow all over the mountain. We are open all the way to the top, with another 1/2 Price Weekend December 11-13. We will be open full time December 18 - March 24. Come see us!

New Flight from DFW to Santa Fe

We're blogging from Dallas today while we're here for a big event to promote Red River (and to chase the snow Texas is getting back up into the mountains). Instead of doing the usual "drive to Dallas" or "drive to Albuquerque to fly to Dallas," we decided to try the new direct flight from Santa Fe. American Airlines has recently started flying out of SAF again, so the allure of a two-hour drive to the airport over a three-hour drive to the airport was too much to pass up. The three of us in our travel group made it to the airport without any hassles, and since it's still a relatively small airport the parking was cheap and the security lines small (seriously, we're talking 2 people). Currently there are two direct flights from DFW each day, so there were a few business travelers and a few vacation travelers. After a brief wait at the airport, we were all settled in our seats and ready to go! The plane is not your typical 737 (our flight was only about 1/2 full with roughly 20 people), but we were each comfortable during the flight (even the one of us that is afraid of flying). After a quick 1 and a half hour flight (and a couple of diet cokes) we were touching down at DFW and off to our event. The flight back was just as easy and hopefully will get used a lot this ski season! Want to know more about the flight and how to get to Red River from the Santa Fe airport?
