[NMCCSC] Santa Fe Norski XC area

[Alan Shapiro via NMCCSCeGroup]

Sarah and I skied a part of the Norski loop system Friday mid-day. There 
were some tracks from skiers earlier in the day, at least one set of 
tracks from a skier out there as we took off (we saw their vehicle in 
the lot). Plenty of snow everywhere we skied. But there were problems 
due to the extremely high winds. Since the earlier skiers we saw (and 
climbed over or around) about 1/2 dozen big trees that had been blown 
over that morning. And we heard the loud cracks as other trees 
surrendered to the high winds. It was too dangerous and we took the "D" 
crossover to return. We got about 45 min. of skiing in. Pretty scary, 
actually. The piece of geography sticks out to the NW and was catching 
those high winds unabated.
