    Description

    Up for auction is a vintage, original, "
    Ski Apache
    ", ski pin. Ski Apache opened under the name “Sierra Blanca Ski Resort” during Christmas of 1961. Since 1963, the resort has been owned and operated by the Mescalero Apache Tribe. Only two years after its official opening in 1961, Robert O. Anderson, the wealthy oil man who built and opened the slopes, sold the resort to the able hands of the Mescalero Apaches. It wasn’t until the 1984-85 season that the slopes were appropriately named “Ski Apache”.
