Fun and Interesting Activities??

I have been to Angel Fire about 3 times, and mostly we skiied. I am looking for something really cool to do this time. We will be there for the Christmas holiday.

One year when staying in WinterPark, we took a sleigh ride thru the forest and then ended up at a neat old place where they fed us and we had some lively entertainment..a lady playing a ';warshboard'; and fiddle, and singing.

The ';restaurant'; was actually an old barn and everyone sat at individual tables in the stalls..(Yes, they were very clean!) It was so neat. I%26#39;d like to try to find something like that while in Angel Fire...or near Angel Fire. I did find an ATV or horseback ride package with dinner, but not sure they do that in December.

Anyone been to anything fun like this, or know of anything at all?

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I looked for a long time on the internet, but didn%26#39;t find anything...goes to show my research skills aren%26#39;t so good.

I will call the number tomorrow and check it out..

Thanks so much!!

We are going to Angel Fire the end of January %26amp; are interested in doing a sleigh ride also %26amp; maybe a snowmobile trio. Did you take a sleigh ride? If so, which company did you use %26amp; was it worth it? Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance

Well...let me tell ya..our whole trip was a ';two thumbs up';..it was great. However, we did run into some ';hick-ups'; here and there, but mostly weather related so, no ones fault %26#39;cept Mother Nature. It still did not deter our wonderful vacation.

Skiing was awesome, the people are great, and the area is beautiful.

We did finally manage to do the dinner sleigh ride. This fell on the heels of one of our mishaps while there. However, when we did get to go, it was really really cold. They do provide blankets, which help, but it was windy, and almost nothing kills that kinda cold. The dinner was good and the hot chocolate was yummy. The accomodations are VERY rustic and you eat off of styrofoam plates and plastic forks/knives. Which didn%26#39;t bother us, but I am just letting you know. I am not sure it was totally worth the $75 per person (adult) we paid, but, it was fun. I think if we were to go at a different time of the year, it could have been better. When I booked it, we were told that we would go for a sleigh ride thru the Carson Nat%26#39;l Forest...that did not happen. We were in the sleigh for about 30 min and then out at the tents where the food is.

There had been tons of snow falling for a few days, and I know it is very difficult to get those sleighs in and out of the snow, so I guess that is why we didn%26#39;t go thru there. However, maybe they don%26#39;t tour thru there for the dinner ride...just the sleigh ride. I don%26#39;t know. Doesn%26#39;t matter now. The people that work and run the outfit are AWESOME people and a lot of fun.

We did not go snowmobiling, but next time we will.

We booked thru Roadrunner Horseback Tours..or something like that. We booked ahead of time being that we wanted Christmas night and they fill that one up quickly. However, next time, I would just wait and call when I got there.

Good luck. I hope you have as great of a time as we did.

OH, also, listen up....

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE REAL CHAINS FOR YOUR VEHICLE!!!

We had those cable type chains, which have worked in the past, but not this time!

If you don%26#39;t have 4-wheel drive, get chains. Even the locals who have 4-wheel drive had chains. (not all of them, of course, but many did..if they were driving on icy/snowy roads.)
