What ski town in New Mexico caters best to budget-minded families with kids?|197414

I_d like to drive there from Houston over Christmas break for a few days in the snow for my snow-deprived children. But I_m a teacher so we_re not rich, and only the man in my life is any good at skiing. So something with some nice tame slopes would be good, too.

Any suggestions?

Yes, go to the state of New Mexico Department of Tourism or just start by _Googling_ (toolbar) New Mexico ski areas/resorts/skiing/etc
sounds fun, I_m envious! ha
