[NMCCSC] Hard crust near 10K South Trailhead yesterday

[Amy Mathis]

I concur with Sam.  I skate skied about an hour on the Service Road and groomed trails.  Very hard-packed with crusty ice.  Next time I go up I’ll wear my BC classics with my makeshift skins I made for them to at least give a little control on climbs and descents.
