Get ready for winter!
The National Weather Service says we’re in an El Niño weather pattern, adding this tilts the odds for a wet winter and spring in New Mexico. We’ll take that prediction!
Enchanted Forest Season Passes, Winter Yurts, and our Luminaria Tour are all “live” and ready for bookings. A word of caution when booking your dates, though: In the last 12 years, we have opened in mid-to-late-November 6 times, and mid-to-late-December 4 times. Twice we didn’t open until February.
As the days get shorter and cooler, we will be out getting trails ready for winter.
We will be offering weekly fitness gatherings beginning this month — stay tuned!
You can get your skis ready for winter using this guide: How to prepare your skis for winter, or call to have one of our ski technicians prep your skis. Even wax-less skis benefit from some TLC and you will have a better skiing experience!

Mountain Biking
We offer about 27 miles of out-and-back or looped trails with varying degrees of difficulty from beginner to advanced, plus trail signs at all intersections and trail maps.
Double-track trails (the width of a fire road) are used by novice to advanced mountain bikers, hikers, and horseback ride tours from Bobcat Pass Wilderness Adventures.
Single track trails — our winter snowshoe trails — are ideal for skilled mountain bike riders and hikers, too.
Nordic Walking
Enchanted Forest is proud to introduce Nordic Walking to our friends and customers! This growing sport uses poles for a cross-country skiing fitness effect. In other words, it takes fitness walking to a new level by adding an incredible upper body workout. The result is increased endurance, a strengthened core, arms, chest, back, buttocks and legs, plus improved posture and flexibility — all while taking stress off your ankle, knee and hip joints.
John & Judy are gone…
It is with heavy hearts that we report founders John and Judy Miller both passed away Thanksgiving week. The entire Enchanted Forest community is saddened by their passing. They both skied and snowshoed as long as they could, and even visited the area in the last 2 years.
