We skied at Enchanted Forest XC Ski area just past Red River and then had lunch in Red River. Both were excellent. The scenery photos are from Enchanted Forest.

Disappointed the ski lift was only open on certain days during the summer. Was  not when we were there. Plenty of shopping for those who want to pay the high prices. Typical tourist trap.
