In a repeat of a classic outing, let's head north for a weekend downhill/ crosscountry/ snowshoe around Monarch Pass. Monarch Ski Area should offer fine skiing. They report 29" of base as of Jan. 7 – more will accumulate as the season progresses We will head for Salida to establish a base in comfortable houses, and spend our days in winter sports in the Monarch Pass area. Some of the Pajarito season passes offer three free days at Monarch, Monarch is free for age 69 and up, and otherwise tickets are relatively inexpensive online.

Maybe not what you are expecting from the title. This is intended as a social gathering of the Club's local backcountry riding community to meet potential partners to plan adventures and ride with. So, come join Ann, Michael and other like minded individuals at the Camp May Pavillon on Sunday February 11 at 11:30. We'll have a grill, so BYOB (Bring your own Brats), and some stoves set up to facilitate a social gathering of the local backcountry community. Bring your transceivers to find hidden prizes, hone your skills and challenge your comrades.

Let's snowshoe to Nambe Lake from the Santa Fe ski basin. I did this last week and it was hard work, but not impossible. Be aware there will be a LOT of steep climbing, but it isn't technical. Alternatively, we can go to Puerto Nambe if the group doesn't want the climb to Nambe Lake.

Nambe Lake: 7 miles, 2000 ft elevation gain

Puerto Nambe: 8.5 miles, 1800 ft elevation gain

This weekend it starts snowing Friday night and continues all through Saturday all day.  I want to leave Friday and spend two days in Colorado skiing, coming back Sunday night.

The Hill Stompers are playing in Durango as the official band of the towns snow-down festival.  

So I'd like to lead a trip of people who want to go to ski Purgatory with this short notice arrangement.  Depending on response we can organize together sharing hotels and carpooling. And depending on ability we can see who can ski together as a powder hound group.
