Ski Apache
Mountain
How big it is and what the skiing is like, each figure with its U.S. rank.
Lifts: the count the resort advertises; resorts differ on whether surface lifts and carpets are in it.

Ski Apache publishes three levels, so its top share counts advanced and expert terrain together. · .
Snow and weather
The National Weather Service forecast for the summit and the base, and the snowpack measured nearby. Live: each figure gives its source and time.
Trail map
45 runs · 9 lifts, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 250 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs.
The resort’s published trail map is not yet collected.
