We parked on the road at the Ellis trail head. The parking lot was inaccessible today. We parked on the right side of the road in a cleared spot that can hold 5-6 cars. Survey trail is well covered and the snow is alternating between soft and icy conditions
(where the snow is in the sun and has melted and frozen).
Good news! Sandia Nordic is paying to have the Ellis parking lot plowed tomorrow. The cost is $800. They are accepting donations on their website if you feel like helping out.
