A break in the flying schedule today led to some company team building on 8” of fresh powder. And this is reason #169 why we love having the HCAS HQ here in ABQ...just a short drive (even shorter if you ride the tram up!) to get to our second favorite mountain activity! Thanks to for a great powder day!
