The snows arrived right on cue and it looks like a great year for Angel Fire’s tourist industry. The state of the economy had us wondering if people would be traveling this year, but, with the snow falling, along with gas prices, here they come…from Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and even as far away as Bolivia and Paris, France. Record crowds have shown up on the ski slopes and vacation rentals are at record levels, also. Even our real estate market, that is usually slow over the holidays, has remained active with people inquiring about purchasing property in this beautiful resort. They are wanting at take advantage of the lower land and home prices and mortgage rates. A win-win for everyone!
