10k feet high great views. With good snow this made our trip memorable. They just got hit with snow before we got there and we were able to take amazing group pictures.
Skiing is the thing here and if you are one of the lucky ones who can actually ski this is the place. It has a lodge to eat or you can carry in a picnic...kids have an area to ski and there are lessons available. Beautiful scene!

My wife and I left the kids at home over President's Day Weekend to ski Apache. It had been almost 30 years since I was there as middle schooler, and my memories were not great. I remembered it very crowdy and an unfriendly staff. I did not have high hopes, but really wanted an extra weekend of skiing close to...
