About the Apache Ski Resort

Located minutes away from Ruidoso, New Mexico, Ski Apache has set a goal to provide the best ski experience for all ages and abilities. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels will find the perfect variety of terrain on 55 trails served by 11 lifts, including New Mexico’s only gondola.

Ski Apache’s huge lift capacity allows more time for skiing, so lines are rare. Top quality grooming, snowmaking and climate all enhance a visit here. High elevations between 9,600’ and 11,500’ provide abundant snowfall, yet sunny days are plentiful. And be sure to check out the views from the top of the gondola or Apache Bowl – they’re spectacular on a clear day.

Beginning skiers or snow boarders receive a FREE lift ticket with the purchase of any group lesson on their first day, excluding weekends. Instruction is available for all ages and ability levels to increase skills and enjoyment of the mountain.
