Enjoy Great Snow
Here at Ski Apache, you’ll enjoy pristine conditions and snow unlike anywhere else. We work in conjunction with mother nature by making snow at the resort in addition to what the weather provides us. This way, you’ll cruise down trails with ample snow while soaking up that New Mexican sun. We work hard to provide you with a pleasant experience on the mountain.
New Mexico is a state to include on your winter bucket list. With excellent ski resorts across the state, Southern New Mexico is an exceptional place to ski and snowboard. The alpine peak of Sierra Blanca is over 12,000 feet, welcoming an annual snowfall of around 15 feet and great weather during the day to ride in. Be sure to check our snow report below and prepare yourself for a fun day on the slopes.
