Why does the woman know so much about Albuquerque?

M:I have been studying too much and need a change. So I’ve just made plans to go away during January break.
W:Really? Where are you going?
M:I’m planning to visit New Mexico.
W:My sister and I vacationed there last year and we had a great time.
M:Did you get into Albuquerque?
W:Sure. We were skiing there.
M:Is it far from the mountains?
W:Not at all. You see, even though Albuquerque is on a high plateau, there are even higher mountains nearit. Just half an hour away from the city there are snow-covered slopes.
M:Well. As the mountains are just thirty minutes away,I guess I should take my ice skates and my skis.
W:Definitely.
M:I heard that the weather there is great.
W:It is. No humidity, moderate temperatures, but you do need to be careful about the high altitude.
M:What should I do about that?
W:Oh, just take it easy for a few days.Don’t go hiking up the mountains or exercise too vigorously. Just do everything gradually.
M:I’m sure I will be fine. And I will let you know all about my trip when I come back.
