The Crest road is in pretty good shape. In the morning there might be a few
patches of ice.
There is a lot of pavement showing. In the afternoon it might be a bit
slushy.

People will have a choice if that want to stay for the afternoon optional
tour
or leave after the morning lesson.  We will carpool accordingly.

If you have any questions or concerns please e-mail me or call me,
505-980-2703.
Come with the attitude to just have fun. It will be a beautiful day in the
mountains.
