Ski Apache … Best Bargain in the Rockies!

Ski Apache is still buzzing from a fantastic event schedule and turnout this past President’s Day! The Slopestyle Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding Event was the best attended event of this kind to date and Snow Blast 06 later that night at Ruidoso Convention was a big hit and plans are already being made for next year. And congratulations to all the winners at each event to whom almost $10,000 Dollars in ski and snowboards were awarded! Anyway, this week, it’s back to business at Ski Apache … and fortunately, for those that live for the slopes, that business is Skiing and Snowboarding in some really excellent conditions and at some really affordable prices!

Hands down, Ski Apache remains the Rockies’ best ski and snowboard bargain this season. And here’s a quick half a dozen reasons why you’ll have to agree with us.

1. Ski Apache continues to offer value priced full day lift tickets this season … Adults at $40.00 and Children at $28.00.

2. The Ruidoso area lodges including the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino are offering some unprecedented ski packages.

3. Local ski shops are remaining very competitive this season. We’ve even heard of $10.00 mid-week rentals!

4. The crowds, like the snowfall, are lighter than usual but lift lines are short and everyone is wearing a smile.

5. The Ski Apache Express offers convenient daily Mountain shuttle service at a rate that’ll make you leave your gas guzzler at the lodge.

6. And every weekend Live Music performances take place at the new Ski Apache Plaza!

Don’t forget, if you’re planning on visiting Ski Apache mid-week, by far the best winter travel deal available in the West is the new the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino’s. “Winter Ski and Stay Package” (para espanol). Check this out … a great rate and a complimentary lift ticket for each night of your stay. At only $76.00 per person, double occupancy, this has to be the best ski deal in the Rockies this year and if you haven’t stayed yet at the new INN you’ll be astounded at the beauty of this new resort and casino. And remember to invite your non-skiing friends and family along as they can choose to enjoy a complimentary breakfast and $25.00 in casino play in place of a complimentary lift ticket!
