New Mexico, a surprising contender as a top ski state in the US has been a best-kept secret. There are several mountains with elevations over 12,000 feet that receive impressive amounts of snow when a storm rolls through. Plus, you’ll have great weather to ski or snowboard in with New Mexico’s classic blue skies. Neighboring states tend to steal the crowds of avid skiers and snowboarders while likely breaking their bank. Affordability is just another perk you’ll find here. Ski Apache has 11 lifts and an annual snowfall of over 15 feet. Come check out our beautiful New Mexico ski resort with terrain for beginners to advanced.

It is also complete with parallel cables so riders can glide down the mountain side-by-side. The adrenaline-pumping, three-part zip tour reaches over 8,900 feet in length, making it one of the longest in the world while offering a thrilling and unforgettable experience.
