Ruidoso is awesome in every season!

There's something for everyone, no matter the time or season in Ruidoso. Winter is synonymous with Ruidoso skiing, snowboarding at Ski Apache, and tubing at Ruidoso Winter Park. It's time for horse racing at Ruidoso Downs and escaping to Ruidoso's cool mountain climate in summer. But locals know that Ruidoso is just as spectacular off-season. Autumn is especially nice when the Aspen trees turn yellow, and the summer visitors return home.
