I would like to propose a long weekend trip, staying in Pagosa Springs, and spending our days in winter sports - skiing at Wolf Creek, or cross-country skiing and snowshoeing wherever there is snow to be found. It is still early season (Dec. 14), but the Wolf Creek season seems to be starting out nicely, with a 27” base and the mountain already 100% open - well ahead of the situation in New Mexico. We might also take a day to drive over for a ski at Purgatory north of Durango.

Once we get a party together, we can finalize our lodging plans in the Pagosa area and share its cost. We will reserve a place checking in Saturday Jan 17 and checking out Wednesday Jan 21, and can expand into additional lodgings as needed - there are still places available in Pagosa at this point. Monday, Jan 19 is the Martin Luther King’s Day holiday, so the mountain might be a little busy Sunday and Monday, but calmer on Tuesday and Wednesday.

We would head up on Saturday, spend Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday on winter sports, perhaps ski again on Wednesday morning and drive back before it gets too late that evening. Let me (Bill Priedhorsky) know if you would like to join in.
