I am quite interested just not sure if I can make it Saturday it will depend on time. Also note they are about to do a prescribed burn  near Hopewell Lake. It was to start today but I think it's delayed. There will be information on the Carson National Forest website. I'm trying to figure out when they will start it and how long it will go for. It's a bit of a bummer since there is a ton of snow up in that area and it's the best place for skiing right now while we wait for more snow. We skied near the CDT at Hopewell on Sunday of last week and it was beautiful.

Subject: [NMCCSC] any interest in skiing out to Brazos overlook Saturday?
 
I'm considering a tour out to Brazos overlook for Saturday.
My copy from my draft on the Meetup site:
Moderate level cross-country ski outing to a gorgeous destination: the dramatic Brazos Cliffs lookout. This is a 6-7 mile round-trip tour over rolling terrain with about 650 feet of elevation gain. You need to be able to ski downhill sections and do some short climbs. You won't need climbing skins, but skis with a climbing pattern that works for you or the appropriate climbing wax. We have a hill or two to climb by traversing or herring bone. Bring enough drink and food for the day. The duration of our day will depend on the snow conditions too. Elevation for our outing is around 10,000 ft.
This is a 110 mile drive each way from Santa Fe, so a long day.

 I think it would be a Class II.
I will decide today whether to offer this to both this group and the Santa Fe Sierra Club Meetup members, so let me know.
