In May and June, snow still covers the surrounding mountain peaks. Sand bunkers protect many of the front nine greens, while long, meandering fairways on the back nine provide plenty of challenges. Angel Fire is still feeling its way towards the future, and hasn't yet developed a centralized shopping area. There are treasures to be found, however, with a little driving around the local area. Alpine Gardens offers plants, garden products, cards and gifts.
Serendipity presents accouterments for the home.
Several sport shops provide the latest in ski and mountain biking equipment and clothing. Dining, like shopping in Angel Fire, requires some mobility. There are several excellent restaurants in town, and many will send someone to pick you up at the airport. They will cater your aircraft coffeepots and galleys upon request. The Angel Fire Resort has restaurants both in the hotel and at the golf course.
