A
mountain resort town, Ruidoso lies in the rugged Sierra Blanca mountain range
of southcentral New Mexico, where it merges with the Sacramento Mountains to the
south. Ruidoso is a rapidly growing resort community due to the region's alpine
scenery, Ruidoso Downs racetrack, and slopes of Ski Apache, the Mescalero Apache
Indian owned ski resort on the 12,000 foot mountain Sierra Blanca. The tribe also
operates the Inn of the Mountain Gods resort in the area, which includes a casino,
hotel, and golf course. Ruidoso is the largest community in Lincoln County and
serves as the regional economic hub.
Ruidoso has been experiencing explosive growth. Currently, Ruidoso is the 3rd fastest growing city in New Mexico. Massive investment has poured into the town from many developers. Major projects including large housing subdivisions, condos, and retail establishments have altered the face of the once sleepy mountain community. As a result, the Village is contending with serious questions about the adequacy of the local water supply and zoning enforcement. Like many small communities that have been recently discovered, there is an ongoing debate about how best to plan for additional growth.

Sierra Blanca (also called the White Mountains) is a range of volcanic mountains in Lincoln and Otero counties of south-central New Mexico. The range is about 40 miles from north to south and 20 miles wide, and is dominated by Sierra Blanca Peak, whose highest point is at 12,005 feet. The peak is located 10 mi west-northwest of Ruidoso and 30 mi north northeast of Alamogordo. The majority of the Sierra Blanca range is within the Lincoln National Forest, and part of this is protected as the White Mountain Wilderness Area. However, much of the southern half of the range, including the summit of Sierra Blanca Peak, is part of the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation, and requires a permit for access. To the south, across the valley of the Rio Tularosa, lie the Sacramento Mountains. To the north is Carrizo Mountain, and to the northeast lie the Capitan Mountains. On the west side, the range rises high above the Tularosa Basin. The range serves as the headwaters for the Rio Ruidoso, Rio Tularosa, and Rio Bonito, as well as numerous arroyos draining into the Tularosa Basin, including Nogal Arroyo at the north end of the range.
The eastern foothills of the Sierra Blanca range include the town of Ruidoso, and the area has a number of popular hiking and camping destinations. The ski resort located on Sierra Blanca Peak (which is located mostly within the Lincoln National Forest and managed by the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation) is called Ski Apache, and it is one of southern New Mexico's two ski resorts, the other called Ski Cloudcroft.
