SANTA FE, N.M. — An abundance of snow this winter is drawing skiers and snowboarders to the peaks above Santa Fe, and those tourist dollars are trickling into town. Santa Fe’s ski shops, hotels and restaurants report booming business like they haven’t seen in years, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported . And Ski-Tech Santa Fe manager Jonah Boudreau says the area has seen its best snow since 1998 and the most tourists he’s ever seen. Ski Santa Fe in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains has had higher base and snowfall numbers — 57 inches (145 centimetres) and 140 inches (356 centimetres), respectively — in early February than some Colorado resorts, Snider said. ——Information from: The Santa Fe New Mexican, http://www.santafenewmexican.com
