Snow-capped coniferous and birch trees divide around a latticework of 57 ivory runs, which invite skiers and boarders to explore Red River Ski Area’s powdery, groomed mountainside. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, two double chairs, three triple chairs, and one generous mountain goat lift hill carvers to the top of a 1,600-foot vertical drop that sports equal parts beginner, intermediate, and expert terrain, flaked with an annual average snowfall of 214 inches. Triplicate terrain parks test shredders of all aptitudes with an acclimating dance floor in the Pot o’ Gold park, up to the Hollywood Terrain Park’s trick-enticing platter of kickers, kink rails, and boxes. Beginning skiers and boarders can shush through a replica mining town atop tuned and waxed rental boards or skis that come equipped with boots and poles, like a cowboy jousting kit.
