We’ve always known Angel Fire Resort is something special—and now it’s official. We’re thrilled to announce that Angel Fire has been awarded Most Family-Friendly Ski Resort in North America in OnTheSnow’s 2024–2025 Visitors’ Choice Awards!
Each year, OnTheSnow.com and its popular app gather feedback from millions of skiers and snowboarders who rate resorts based on their personal experiences. Categories include terrain, après-ski, value, terrain parks, and—of course—family friendliness. This year, Angel Fire rose to the top, earning the number 1 spot for creating unforgettable experiences for families.
And this isn’t our first rodeo. It’s the second time in three years Angel Fire has taken home this award, proving that our commitment to being a family-friendly destination is more than just a promise—it’s a way of life.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some OnTheSnow users had to say:
“This is the BEST family friendly ski resort that we’ve ever been to! We have 2 kids (10 & 14 yrs) in which we’ve been skiing for about 5-6 yrs now & been to all NM ski resorts & Copper Mountain, CO. Angel Fire is easy to get around & all runs meet at same bottom to find kids much easier than too large a resort. The prices are GREAT . . . The town has friendly shopping & grocery store. Rental properties are nice & lots of fully stocked condos for families.” -Randa Warton
“This was my first, ever, trip to a ski resort. I’d never been skiing, but my nephew’s wanted to go for the youngest’s birthday celebration. The boys had been snowboarding before, but we were all going to try skiing. We had such an awesome time that we’re making it a family hobby. My 10 y/o niece and I took lessons, and she was already on the blue trails by day 4, with confidence. We’re going back in December!” -Krise Morado
“We LOVE Ange Fire! It’s a great family resort. The people are so friendly and it’s more affordable than a lot of the other mountains!” -Jacquie Von Hohn
“If you are looking for a family-friendly resort, go to Angel Fire. There is an activity for everyone of all ages and abilities. There are plenty of nicely groomed trails and one is 4.5 miles long. Tubing and hiking are fun for non-skiers and condos just a block away from the ski lifts are available for rent.” -Ellen Osterhaus
We’re honored by this recognition and beyond grateful to all our guests who took the time to share their experiences.
To everyone who’s made Angel Fire part of their family tradition—thank you. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the mountain!
