SKIING
Mountain Sports of Angel Fire offers only the best from companies like Dynastar, K2, Rossignol, and Nordica. With different brands/models to choose from, we have the right ski for you. Mountain Sports also offers a full demo and rental program, including Demo skis and boards, Performance skis and boards, and kids equipment. We also have full service ski tunes and custom bootfitting.Choosing the right skis primarily involves matching your terrain preferences (Groomed slopes? Off-piste? Park-and-pipe?) with the appropriate ski (All-mountain? Backcountry? Twin tip?). The team at Mountain Sports is here specifically to help you connect those dots.
All variations of downhill skiing are addressed here:
Alpine: Groomed runs with varying levels of difficulty at lift-served areas; traditional skiing.
Backcountry: Untracked, potentially unstable terrain that involves no lifts, no patrols, no snowcats, no warming huts—just you, your skills and the mountain. The unmarked backcountry and sidecountry are also known as off-piste terrain. In French, the word for a marked trail is piste (pronounced PEACED).
Sidecountry: Lift-accessible backcountry terrain that lies just beyond resort boundaries. Should be approached through marked gates. Skiers often must hike back to a lift.
All-Mountain
Much crossover now occurs between these styles, and some skiers regularly migrate between groomed slopes and riskier, obstacle-dotted off-piste terrain. Many skis are engineered to perform well in either environment.
With equipment from some of the world's best ski manufacturers including: K2, Dynastar, Nordica, and Rossignol, Mountain Sports can outfit any skier of any ability. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, all-mountain expert, racer or park skier, we have the right gear for you.
All of our retail skis are available to demo on the mountain, and we offer up to two days of Demo fees back towards the purchase of a new ski.
To complement your skis, we carry bindings, poles, helmets, goggles, and other high-end accessories.
