Ski Apache is a
Beginner’s Paradise this Winter! Though this season’s snow has been a bit skimpy, Ski Apache remains New Mexico’s premier destination for first-time and beginning skiers. Ski Apache offers one of the finest lesson programs in the country and skiing mid-week when the crowds are lighter will make you feel like “King (or Queen) of the Mountain"! Discounted Full Day rates of $40.00 for Adults and Children $28.00 are still in effect so there has never been a better time to learn and enjoy this great seasonal sport. Ruidoso is offering some great lodging / ski packages as well. Currently nine trails and four lifts are open covering over 300 acres of ski-able terrain. Come enjoy the Winter fun in Southern New Mexico’s Winter sun. |
