Ski Apache had one of the worst snowfall years ever.ย According to On The Snow, the New Mexico ski resort received just 27 inches of snow this ski season. Let me say that again, the ski resort, which is dependent upon snow for business purposes, received only 27 inches of snow TOTAL. Ski Apache averages around 15 feet per year, which is an astonishing -85% drop! It snowed a only 9 days and its largest snowfall day was 8 inches. To put this into perspective, could you imagine receiving 30% of your total snow in one day?
