[NMCCSC] Sandia Crest Monday January 11th

[Anita Grierson]

Yesterday, I parked at 10k around 12:30 pm and went up from there -
Sam/Kerry's trail, Challenge trail, switchback to the top service road and
then back down most of the same route, but sticking to the challenge trail.
(I apologize to anyone following my tracks as I got turned around when
coming out of the woods to rejoin the challenge trail). Switchback was
good, only a few minor obstacles that were very avoidable. I ran into Steve
shoveling and preparing the trail for Sandia's grooming today (nice to meet
you Steve - On Wisconsin!). I skied nearly 6 miles - a beautiful day in
beautiful conditions. 10K parking was easy and even in the early afternoon
was pretty empty. Road still is slippery in places but doable in any
vehicle.  I'd imagine conditions will be good for at least a few days.
Cheers,
Anita
