[NMCCSC] Skiing from 10K S Trailhead, Sat., Dec. 5

[Guy Miller]

The Club newsletter that just came out features a map of the area. It’s on there!  Also, you can get a free ski trail map at the Tijeras ranger station. You’ll have to bang on the door to get someone to talk to you.

Hello Skiers,

 

On Saturday, Dec. 5, Michael Arndt and I skied about 3 miles RT in the area between 10K South Trailhead and Ellis Trailhead in the Sandia Mountains.

 

>From 10K South Trailhead, we skied to the east and south until we came to the groomed trail “above” the parking lot. 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.

 

We had only about 7 inches of undisturbed snow (as Amy Mathis said earlier), and we hit several rocks. The temperature was about 37F all day. We only saw three other skiers.

 

The highway was clear and dry. The 10K parking lots were about half-full.

 

We need more snow, and some is forecast for Thursday and Friday.

 

A few photos are presented in the attached Word document.

 

Sam
