What a great way to start 2017 by getting to see real snow for the first time in my life! I almost cried. Ever since I was a little girl I have died to know how it is. Where I live it doesn't snow, actually, the last time it did was 21 years ago and really lightly. I visited some relatives in El Paso, Tx. during new year and together we went on a small trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico.
We went specifically to a place called Ski Apache, located at the top of a big mountain. It was SO cold I could barely feel my hands and my nose started to get runny. I had a bit of trouble to get used to the weather at first, but once I got the chance to go sledding I completely forgot about it.
