On our last night in Ruidoso we ate at a great Mexican food place and enjoyed our last evening together. We packed up Friday morning and barely made it out of our steep driveway due to lots of ice :( Heath truck pushed Vince and Lindsay Altima up a hill! Heath and Hil headed for north for more skiing while the other headed back to the big D.
We skied Sandia Peak on Friday afternoon. We stayed in Albuquerque, so the drive was short up the mountain. It was bitterly cold. The windchill at the top of the mountain was -5 and the winds were howling. We had a great time though. The snow was awesome and it wasn't crowded.
Saturday we got up bright at early and drove to Santa Fe. We were so excited because they had gotten 17 inches of snow the previous day. It was beautiful! The trees were glittery and absolutely gorgeous. When we got to the ticket counter we noticed a sign indicating that there was a frost bite warning in effect. We thought Sandia was cold, the windchill in Santa Fe was -40!!! We have never worn so many layers to ski in.
