[NMCCSC] Crest today

[Katie Cunningham]

Skiing on the service road was disappointing as by 11:30 it was already starting to be sticky and I forgot my Maxi Glide.  It was still more powdery in the woods.  Both parking lots were plowed and were full at Ellis by 10:15.  It was a  gorgeous day up there so definitely not a waste of time from that standpoint!

None of the parking lots were plowed today.  I tried to park in the upper lot of Ellis, realized I’d probably get stuck, so I backed down.  I made a mistake and wound up lodging my right rear tire in the deep snow bank.  I spent a half hour digging myself out and I probably would still be up there now but two women took pity on me and helped push me free.  After getting myself out of that one, I parked at the 10K lot and decided to ski somewhere I’d never gone before.  There is 12 inches of fresh powder!  Man I was kicking myself for not bringing my downhill teles and skins!  Instead I skied south on the 10k trail and check out the downhill area.  Just gorgeous!  The snow was light and powdery and I was forging a trail up to my shins in snow.  It was tough when I turned around because I don’t have skins for my Rossis.  It’s a bummer I’m so busy now.  Today just must have been the most amazing downhilling it on our mountain this season.  I’m still pretty heartbroken they won’t open.
