Get your skiing and boarding in ... this week!

A Couple inches of new snow, cooler temperatures and ongoing snowmaking operations at Ski Apache has set up the Mountain well for its last full week of operations. With many schools and universities on Spring Break this week, why not take a last minute trek to high altitude and visit Southern New Mexico’s premier winter recreation area. There’s still plenty of time and enough of the white stuff to have a great time with family or friends. And, if you miss this week ... you’ll have to ask yourself, “Can I really wait ‘til next Thanksgiving to ski or board again?”  Well, the answer has to be a resounding No! Check out the latest snow report and plan your get-a-way ... there’s still plenty of fun on the slopes to be had this week through March 19th, the Mountain’s official last day of the 2005 – 2006 season.

For the last weekend of the year, March 17 & 18, the classic rock duo, Kinnan and Turner, will heat up the Ski Apache Plaza from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM. This musical twosome will be performing Classic Rock, Ballads and other Goodtime Music...from the '50s & '60s.
