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.
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.
