skiing all day at taos ski valley after a delicious breakfast of farm fresh eggs from the chickens on the property where we are staying. i am not all that great at skiing for a first timer but taos is considered a very difficult mountain so i suppose i did okay. the easiest way down the mountain is about three times longer than it should be, so honestly i went halfway down it after several hours of getting used to skiing and was literally exhausted from so much work and falling lots. but whatever it all worked out because i decided to wisely stop before I hurt myself and i instead rode the rest of the way down in a toboggan pulled by a Swiss man on skis. it was amazing.

after: soaking at hot mineral springs. now, bedtime.
