Ski Apache, one of the southernmost ski resorts in America, is located in Alto, New Mexico, and is a close destination for those near the Texas/New Mexico border. New Mexico is an often underrated state to ski and snowboard in. While neighboring states take most of its thunder, visitors of Ski Apache know the true value and quality found here. The alpine peak of Sierra Blanca is over 12,000 feet and we are geographically positioned to have great snow and excellent skiing conditions.
