Angel Fire Resort is bringing back Big Ol’ Texas Weekend for the seventh consecutive year. This year’s weekend celebration highlights the Charlie Lucas Band, Lonestar themed events such as the Big Texan Steak Eating Challenge, Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament and reduced priced lift tickets for Texas residents.
“Texans make up half of all our visitors,” says Dave Dekema, director of marketing for Angel Fire Resort. “They drive all night to get here, ski all day, they’re fun and they come back often. They refer to us as the ski slopes in their back yard. This is one small way of saying thanks to them for making us their mountain.”
