New Mexico Ski Resorts

Last week we went to see a few of the ski resorts (I had no idea that New Mexico had so many!) in northern New Mexico. We stayed at a small resort called Sipapu and had a small (really small) bunk room with 2 bunk beds and a fridge and microwave for $29 a night (not bad considering most other resorts around are over $100).







Everyone fought over who would get to sleep on the top of the bunk beds...


We woke up each morning to Darci peeking up over her crib.

We also drove to Taos Ski Resort....




We drove through a lot of small villages that looked like this one



The Rio Grande Gorge bridge was pretty cool. It is flush with the ground and you can't see it until you are right there.




We drove through Red River Ski Resort....



Tad really wanted to do a snowmobile tour, but at $75, he'll have to start saving up!







Then we went to Angel Fire Ski Resort...





Tad and Derek did the tubing here, and only them because it was $20 per person! I guess it costs so much because they have a moving walkway to take you back up the hill.







All in all, we had fun. There wasn't as much snow as we expected. This week would be a great time to go, because they're all getting a ton of snow up there. I did find a small hill for Paige and Kevin to sled down, as soon as I can figure out how to make the videos smaller, I'll post some of those.

Wow a moving walkway up the hill. I think I might have paid the $20 just for that.

sounds like a blast. That walkway is cool. You guys always seem to do cool things.
