Ski Apache is a ski resort in southern New Mexico, on the slopes of Sierra Blanca. It is owned and operated, since 1963, by the Mescalero Apache Tribe. The resort is home to Ross Anderson, an acclaimed speed skier of Native American descent, who is the resort's marketing manager. Despite engaging in artificial snow making operations at Ski Apache, the Apache tribes continue to oppose the proposed snow making at Arizona Snowbowl. Ski Apache is the only ski resort in New Mexico with its own gondola lift.
