With Spring Break right around the corner, Jim Merritt from Angel Fire Resort joined The Chad Hasty Show to talk about the great skiing conditions present in northern New Mexico.

Angel Fire Resort is currently in the midst of it's Spring Break celebration, "Fiesta del Sol" which continues through March 20th. Weather conditions are ideal for a last minute ski trip to the southern Rocky Mountains.

Merritt said, "It's a great time for Lubbock Texas residents to take the short drive up to the mountains, you know, kind of get away, experience a new environment. It's a great time to ski because the weather's starting to warm up, so the snow's real soft, you don't have to bundle up too heavy."

Merritt continued to describe the resort's many attractions that, in addition to skiing include sledding, night skiing, live music and many other events and family activities.

Angel Fire is about a 5 1/2 hour drive from Lubbock, and approximately 65% of Angel Fire Resort's guests are from Texas.
