If you want to SEE New Mexico, the Apache Wind Rider ZipTour is the best way to do so! After driving up the winding and panoramic road from Ruidoso to the Ski Apache Resort, you will check in at the base area to begin your tour. You will ride the Apache Arrow Gondola to the top of the mountain, where you will be transported to the top of the first zip line span on the tour, the Pena Zip. At 5,240 feet in the length, the Pena Zip is just shy of one mile long. You begin your ride with the Sacred Mountain to your right, and the ski area and surroundings landscapes of southern New Mexico visible for miles in front of you. It is truly breathtaking. And what a ride! You will fly over the skiable terrain of Apache bowl and then over the trees, landing near the top of the Elk Ridge run. From here your group walks along the deck to the top of the second zip line span, the Carrizo Zip.
