I'm a true beginner, and learning as an older adult, but found that I enjoy the easy runs. It's never overly crowded when I ski making it the perfect beginner experience.

Really cool mountain worth hitting as part of a larger trip to the Taos area. Loved the terrain at a number of difficulty levels. My biggest complaint was crowd management. Lots of newer skiers, which isn't a problem on its own, but I felt that the crowdflow was managed in a way that made things dangerous for all ability levels. Still, be sure to hit some trees! Really cool glades!

Great first mountain for riders, and especially easy to get to & cost effective for those based on the greater southwest. This is a true ski town. No frills, no flash, just a reasonably priced mountain and a decent number of runs. Angel Fire gets decent snow and is very approachable - just skip the hill around major holidays. Great place to learn and very family friendly. Plan your trip well and youre guaranteed to have a good time.
