We skied west on an unmarked route parallel to the groomed trail to the next switchback in the Crest Highway. This route, known as Sam’s/Kerry’s Trail, continues up parallel to the highway to the first highway switchback below Ellis Trailhead. We then skied the groomed (rolled by the Sandia Nordic Ski Club) trail across the meadow (old road clearing) to an aspen grove that stops at a forest-covered cliff. We had lunch here and returned by the same route to the parking lot.
