Me and my Dad decided to stop here on our way from Colorado to Texas. We’re very glad we did! The setup was great. You walk into the bike rental shop, rent your bike and safety equipment (helmets are mandatory), and then you head down the slope to the chair lift. At the top of the mountain, you’ll find a large sign showing you all the trails and their difficulty level. They range all the way from beginner to pro, and the trails are very well marked. This was our first time to do this, so we asked for the easiest run. They told us to do Easy Street. It’s definitely a fun ride for beginners. It’s mostly smooth, and there’s enough switchbacks to make it fun. Not too steep, and the trails are wide. For our second run we did Ziggy, Easy Street, Combi, and Boulder Dash. Ziggy was rough, but still fun. As I said already, Easy Street was great. Combi was good as well, but Boulder Dash was excellent!!! If you’re a beginner looking for some mild jumps, Boulder Dash is perfect for you! If you’re a beginner, I certainly DON’T suggest doing Da Vinci’s Code!!! Neglecting to look at the difficulty level, we decided to try it. We immediately began to regret it. After that, we took Chutes and Ladders. If you like speed and pretty crazy drops, this one’s for you! You DO need to have a bit of experience in order to do this one. It’s probably not great for beginners either. Overall, my favorite track was either Boulder Dash or Chutes and Ladders. Out of the trails we rode, here’s how I would rank them: Beginner: Easy Street, Combi, Ziggy, Boulder Dash Medium: Chutes and Ladders Hard: Da Vinci’s Code The staff do such a great job, and they’ll keep you as safe as possible. Please don’t read this and decide not to come because it sounds too dangerous! Many of their trails are completely safe! What I like about this park is that YOU get to decide how crazy you want to get. If you’re uncomfortable with fast, crazy rides, there’s plenty of safe bike trails for you. Easy Street, Boulder Dash, and Combi are very safe. Don’t be nervous about doing them. It was my first time, but I had a blast! My compliments to the staff for making everything so enjoyable! That said, if you’re in the area (and even if you’re not), you absolutely have to try this! Come prepared for pure awesomeness!!! ????

I registered my 4 year old son for two consecutive days of ski school. The first instructor was amazing with him and really helped boost his confidence, day two he had a different instructor and we actually picked him up early at 2 pm to allow him time to ski with his older brothers. The second instructor was amazing as well! He really worked one on one (due to what I am assuming was a increase in his ability and lack of capacity due to Covid) with him and taught him all the major basics. Once we got up the mountain the second time after early pickup we ran into his instructor and he was so considerate and even checked on my son long after his class ended. He sure didn’t have to nor did he have to say hi and tell him what a great job he was doing ! Angel Fire ski school has great instructors, great customer service and extremely professional. 10/10 for sure
