A River of Fire Down the Face: Red River's Torchlight Parade Tradition
Did you know that on winter nights in Red River, the mountain itself seems to catch fire, in the best possible way? Skiers and snowboarders carrying shimmering red flares descend the Face, the steep black diamond run that looks straight down on town, in a slow, S-shaped stream of light, while fireworks burst overhead. It is Red River Ski Area's Torchlight Parade, and it turns an ordinary ski day into a celebration the whole town can watch.
