Ski Apache - Ruidoso
Ski Apache first opened in 1962 as Sierra Blanca. The name was changed to Ski Apache in the mid 1980's. Located in south central New Mexico, Ski Apache is the closest major ski area to Texas, and road trips from Dallas, San Antonio and El Paso are a Lone Star State tradition.
Despite its southerly location, Ski Apache benefits from a very high elevation and good snowfall. The town of Ruidoso, 18 miles southeast of the resort, offers a variety of lodging choices from modestly priced motels and cabins to the world class Inn of the Mountain Gods (there is no slopeside lodging at the resort). For RVer's there are campgrounds with good year round accessibility. Round trip shuttle service is available between Ski Apache and Ruidoso.
