[NMCCSC] Alone again, naturally.

[Nancy]

Nice report Ron. 
Today under a wan sun my partner Tomás and I skied the same road, some bare spots. Existing tracks were icy and the going was a little too fast for me in some places. Don’t have GPS and forgot the topo map but I estimate we went 2 miles before we took a break then headed back. A young couple of skiers passed us while we had our snacks, so our return trip was much better since they had made some  tracks to go around some of the bare/icy spots.

> Five of us skied FR144, the dirt road heading north from NM4 at the top of Fenton Hill, yesterday. We arrived at the trailhead at 9:30 and it was 21F, under intensely blue skies and virtually no wind. The cold temperatures during the week had preserved the 4” of new snow, so conditions were excellent. Since snowmobiles had been up the road in the past few weeks, the trail was well consolidated. The coverage was great, with the exception of a couple of south facing hills, one of which was pure dirt. We tip toed up the frozen dirt on the way in, and removed our skis and walked around the mud on the way back. We skied north on the road for about 4 miles, then found a nice sunny, dry hillside for a lunch break, before returning back to the cars. We were out for 4 hours and didn’t see another soul. Be aware that there are ups and downs on this road going both directions; there is actually more gain heading south back toward the trailhead than when heading north, so plan accordingly. Most of the road, especially with the great snow conditions that we enjoyed yesterday, is suitable for beginner skiers.
