We go often. You need to take the reviews with a grain of salt. When they have good snow, which is the case right now, its really a great place to ski. You will read a lot of reviews about the Indians that run the place being rude. I've found that they are actually very nice, in most cases, and have found that those that get any rude treatment are those that are rude to the staff to begin with. For example, lots of Mexicans come over from Mexico since its easy to get there. Its cheap for Mexicans to fly into Juarez from all of the other large cities and make the drive up from El Paso. With them, they bring their attitudes that they are to be served and treated better than everyone else. Along with this, they feel they should be able to cut to the front of the line if they have one family member in line ahead of you. Basically, if you could get rid of all of the Mexicans that come there, it would be a top notch place.
The main issue I have with the place is that its a 12 mile drive from the bottom of the mountain to the top. Its a very windy (winding not wind) road that takes a half hour (if you drive fast like me) to get up to the top. There are shuttles that take you from town. Thats the best way to go if you plan to knock a few back while on top of the mountain. Great little bar up there.
The ski instructors and others that work the mountain are first class. Most of these are not Apaches. But the Apaches do own the place so most of the workers, outside of those on the mountain assisting skiers, are natives. The men are all losing their teeth because they don't have a dental plan. The women are all fat and ugly and smelly.
Lots of really good runs and its also a great place for beginners. Also Ruidoso is an awesome village with lots of good bars and restaurants. Its a really cool place and I love it there.
