Taos Ski Valley #2 SNOW

 Another movie of the snowmobiling:


We were very fortunate that on both the skiing day and snowmobiling day it was sunny and didn't start snowing until after we were finished.  We had about 6 inches on those two days.

That night we went to Medley.  This time we were in a little green house outside.  It had a heater and light. 



There was a button to push to call the waiter.









Pictures of food.  We ordered a lot of small plates and shared.

Roasted Broccoli 











Mac 'n Cheese with green chilies 

                                                                   Salad with lots of good stuff
lamb chops 











For dessert we went to a Chocolate Shop in Taos.  I had a French style hot chocolate and we each chose some candies to take home for later.

A winter storm was blowing in while we were eating dinner.  By the time we got back to the house, it was in full force.  The kids decided to play outside for awhile.

Another snowman - that is snow not grey on Alec's head.

Yoshi wasn't very fond of the snow.  Sometimes he had to be carried to clearer places before he was willing to walk around to do his business.  But, we did get him to run through it once:

Our final morning was a true adventure.  It had snowed all night.  We think that we got at least 12".  The snow plows had been working on the streets, but our parking area was untouched.  The person in charge texted that the roads were good off the mountain, but neglected to say that there was a snow plow service that would come to our area.  Alec and Calder tried to dig the car out, but it got stuck.  (Thank you Lora and Jerry for loaning us a shovel.)  Nothing was working.  I suggested that we offer the workers at the restaurant across the parking lot some cash to help us out.  Jef elected to go and ask.  I would have gone because people are always willing to help an old lady, but it was too slippery for me to risk it.  Two guys who were shoveling out the restaurant agreed to help.  They had really big shovels and were young and strong.  One of the guys took over driving to get it out.  Free at last, we loaded up and were about to pull out when the snow plow came to plow out the houses.  (Dirty words were spoken.)

Breakfast in Taos.  Another inside experience.  This place had a good system.  Their menu was on a large board in the lobby.  You ordered before being shown to the table.  They were doing pretty well with the distancing, but we were glad that we were early and were through by the time that more people showed up.

Huevos rancheros for me (With Christmas chili)


















Stuffed Sopapilla for Jef

Enchiladas for Alec














Quesadilla for Calder

And a basket of Sopapillas with honey for the table.  I think Calder was the only one who finished and he shared some with Branwen who wasn't fond of her choice.
