Ruidoso Visitors & 2nd Homeowners:
The NM Governor has implemented a complex Red/Yellow/Green county-by-county framework that will permit counties to operate under less restrictive public health measures when health metrics demonstrating the extent of the spread of the virus and test positivity within those counties are met.
Ruidoso and Lincoln County are classified as RED.
Face masks are required in public.
Remember, the Inn of the Mountain Gods and Ski Apache are not controlled by the Governor. Ski Apache info is below the Red/Yellow/Green info and it is a must-read if you plan to ski.

Food & Drink Establishments: No indoor dining, outdoor dining allowed at 25% of maximum occupancy, establishments serving alcohol must close at 9:00 pm. Note: many local restaurants are doing a nice job with patio dining even when it's cold outside with heaters so plan to wear a warm coat and enjoy dinner in town.

The county-by-county status and information will be updated every two weeks beginning Dec. 2. When a county moves to a less restrictive level, it may begin operating at that level immediately upon the update to the map. If a county moves back to a more restrictive level, it will begin operating at that level of restriction within 48 hours after the update to the map. View the map here.

The 14 day quarantine order is still in effect. Please remember, the 14 day quarantine for out of state visitors does not mean you must stay here 14 days. It means that you are not supposed to be in any public setting for 14 days of the date of your arrival. Click here to see which states are restricted states. Or take my word for it...they are all restricted. Note: This quarantine order is not being enforced by any local law enforcement agency. This is a restriction and not a law.
