NMRoads showed the road to the Crest still closed, as we passed Doc Long at 10am. Almost snow-free asphalt until we were above the ski area base. No comment... A chilly 16 deg as we started to ski at 10:45. Broke trail on Survey out to Del Agua Overlook. Classic blue wax conditions, for those of you who still have a waxable kicker, and snow just deep enough to ski like powder yet still shallow enough to allow the kicker to be flattened against the snow for grip. Breaking trail outbound wasn't work at all. However, halfway back on the Crest Trail, dog & snowshoe tracks compromised the trail, challenging grip, but the Fun Meter was still pegged.
My post on Facebook has five photos. Only one here...
Hopefully more snow next week!
