In the summer, Cedar Creek offered turf skiing and an alpine slide. By the late 1970's the area changed its name to Ski Ruidoso and in 1980 again to Eagle Creek. The ski area closed a few years later. While Eagle Creek had 75% snowmaking coverage, it was plagued by warm temperature and low snowfall. Directions: From Rudioso, take Hwy 37 to Hwy 532.
