Ski Apache to open Dec. 9

MESCALERO, N.M. (November 30, 2016) — With 8 inches of fresh snow and new snow being made as temperatures drop, Ski Apache will be opening on Friday, Dec. 9.

“She may have taken her time to get here, but I can very happily say that Mother Nature has arrived at Ski Apache,” said Ski Apache director of operations Justin Rowland. “Now we are able to blow snow onto a solid, natural foundation and hope to continually open more terrain in the coming weeks.”

Chairs three and five will be spinning from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., giving guests access to the bunny hill, Easy Street trail and some lower mountain terrain. Lift tickets for opening day will be available for a special one-day price, call Ski Apache at 1-800-545-9011.
