It’s January in Alamogordo, and it’s the season to take advantage of the chill in the air for a little recreation on the slopes. We’re fortunate here to be nearby the Sacramento Mountains to the east and the Black Range a little further to the west. That means there are a number of convenient, easy-to-reach destinations for a ski vacation from town. Let’s take a look at some of the ski resorts you can visit this winter!
Ski Cloudcroft
It’s just about a half-hour drive to reach Ski Cloudcroft, no sweat for a fuel-efficient Honda SUV and the whole family. Ski Cloudcroft offers a full range of winter fun on its 25 trails. If you don’t have your own gear, you have the option to rent, and if you’re not exactly a pro on the slopes, a ski school is available to get you up to speed. Ski Cloudcroft is known for its tubing and snowboarding as well as classic skiing. Tubing is a great option if you want to experience a thrill without having to hit ski school beforehand, as no experience is necessary.
Ski Apache
Ski Apache is a little further north, but well worth the drive, especially in a Honda from Casa Honda. Situated on Sierra Blanca Mountain, it has over 750 skiable acres of terrain broken down into 55 runs and trails. Most are intermediate difficulty, but beginner and expert runs are available as well to suit your skills rentals and ski schools are also ready to accommodate depending on your equipment and skill level.
Sunrise Park Resort
Great for a weekend trip, Sunrise Park Resort is located just across the state line in Arizona. It is one of the biggest in Arizona, offering 67 trails from beginner to double black diamond. If you’re looking for something a little different in your gravity-assisted downhill winter transportation methods, consider the snow bike. This ski-based bike is a fun way to test out the slopes and can be rented on-site along with more classic options.
