19" of Fresh Powder!

New Mexico is having one of the best winters ever! It seems like we're getting a weekly storm that is dumping 1-2 feet of snow each time. Sharee and I went up to Ski Santa Fe after it had just received 19" of new snow. It was a beautiful day with clear, deep blue skies, but it sure was cold. The base elevation at the resort is at 10,350 ft. elevation. The peak is at 12,075 ft. It was -4 degrees F. when we got to the parking lot and +12 degrees when we left at the end of the day. Here's what Sharee looks like with 6 layers of clothes + her new ski mask that with her goggles allowed her to have no exposed skin! The secret to getting Sharee to ski with you all day is lots of layers, and lot of hot chocolate.
