Ski and Snowboard Special Info Ruidoso New Mexico Cabins and RV Campground

Ski Apache is named one of the top five best Ski and Snowboard Resorts in the nation.

From just after Thanks Giving to Easter, Ski Apache offers skiing and snowboarding on groomed powder slopes with the largest lift capacity in New Mexico.

At North America's southernmost destination ski and snowboard area, the view from the top is of pine - covered majestic mountains surrounded by desert and white sand. It's fun for experts, intermediates, beginners, never evers, children and singles. Day's are mostly sunny and winter is bargain season.

The beautiful ski and snowboarding area is found in a region occupying an oasis of pine-covered mountains surrounded by the sprawling New Mexican desert. From the "Lookout Snack Bar", at the top of the gondola, the panorama is one of the most expansive to be found at any ski resort in North America. The view takes in the White Sands National Monument, the site of the first atom bomb explosion, the forest where Smokey Bear was rescued and the Old West towns where Billy The Kid roamed. Trail names echo the Apache heritage: Geronimo, Screaming Eagle, Chino and Ambush. Skiers from Texas, Germans from nearby Holloman Air Force Base, and Mexican visitors all mix with the Mescalero Indians who make the resort work.

You'll find no condo developments and no ski-in/ski-out hotels at the ski area - this is a pure ski resort.
