[NMCCSC] Beginner skiers, Let's Hike the Rocky Point trail In Sandia Mts., Sun 11/10

[Ruth Bargman-Romero via NMCCSCeGroup]

Hi everyone,
An update to this Sunday's hike, Nov 10th.

The tram and associated facilities are closed for maintenance. The
restaurant will be closed and planning to re-open on Friday, 11/15.
Here is a link to check the weather on top of the Crest:

Remember, it is a lot more fun and helps to prevent injury if you are in
shape to go skiing.
