It’s late and I’m tired of this stupidity but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Albuquerque does have a ski area. It’s called Sandia Peak Ski area. It is owned and operated by the same family that owns Santa Fe Ski Area. It is two miles high on Sandia Crest and can be reached via a 15 minute tram ride from Albuquerque. It has been around since the 1960’s. Just stop talking about something you know nothing about. I’ve lived here since 1958. Albuquerque definitely has more to offer than Lubbock does and as to my original point Morgantown is a preferred place to live than Lubbock as well.
