[NMCCSC] Enchanted Forest

[Amy Mathis]

Greetings skiers,

It’s been great to read about everyone’s outings!  On Wednesday, Carol Miller and I met up at Enchanted Forest for a delightful day on the trails there.  The area received about 8 inches of fresh snow in the most recent storm so conditions were really pretty fabulous.  The majority of the trails were corduroy-groomed and we did not encounter any icy sections or issues.  We both felt like we had a lot of control on the descents.  We skied about 6 miles.  Afterward I skied up to Latir Yurt with my backpack and had to get a fire going so that I could get the yurt warmed up. 

Next day was a cold, clear morning, and the clouds over Wheeler peak with the pinkish hue of morning was gorgeous.  I took the long way from the yurt back to the parking area with my BC Classics and backpack.  After that I donned my skate skis and hit the trails again.  I’d say the conditions on my second day were not as good as when Carol and I were out.  It was warmer and the snow was softer and a bit more sticky.  On both days I had to use Maxi Glide.  It was great to be able to ski two days at Enchanted Forest even though I missed the fresh snow at home.  Hopefully we will get more on our home mountain!  I’m headed up there tomorrow even though conditions will likely not be ideal.  

Cheers,
Amy
