Past Trips

This ski tour is being postponed until Saturday, February 1st while we wait for more snow in the Jemez.  If there is no snow by that date, let's consider doing the trip as a hike instead.  This will give us a chance to see this new area without delaying other ski trips that are scheduled later in February.

Postponed until Feb 1, due to lack of snow.   

This ski tour to the Brazos Overlook is a replacement for the El Cajete ski tour in the the Valle Grande, which has been postponed to Saturday, Feb. 1st while we wait for more snow in the Jemez.

The 41st Chama Chile Ski Classic will be held on Martin Luther King weekend, Jan 18-19, 2014.  There will be clinics for X-C skiing and telemark skiing as well as races.

See the website http://www.chamaski.com/index.htm  for information on signing up.

Dear Mountaineers,

Kathleen G. and I are discussing an outing over the long weekend in mid-January. We would rent a house in Salida, or on the road up to Monarch, and spend the days doing winter sports - downhill skiing/snowboarding at Monarch Ski Area (3 free days with a Pajarito pass), or snowshoeing in the high country. We would drive to Salida Thursday afternoon or evening and stay for 4 nights, traveling back home on Monday the 20th, which is a Lab holiday. Please write Bill at bill@priedhorsky.net if you would like to join in.

Have you wanted to try cross country (X-C) skiing?  Let's go up to the Enchanted Forest X-C Ski Area, just west of Red River, NM, for an introduction to X-C.  Enchanted Forest has rental gear and lessons, as well as miles of groomed trails.  http://enchantedforestxc.com/

 

Enchanted Forest offers a package for rentals, lessons, and trail pass for $45.  

 

The trip is also suitable for folks who want to get out and ski - a trail pass is $18.

 

This is a 2 day (Saturday & Sunday) X-C ski trip to Cumbres Pass.  The Saturday ski is designed to set up a longer tour on Sunday.  We'll stay at a motel in Chama on Saturday night.  Participants are welcome for one or both days.  This trip is weather dependant - if there were to be a blizzard on Sunday, we might decide to postpone until a later date.  

Let's get some fresh air poisoning before the holidays!

Let's ski the Dixie Creek out/back trip or the Spruce Hole Yurt/Pinarealosa Peak Loop.  Both are about 8 miles.

Meet in Los Alamos at 6:45 am, leave at 7 am.  Ski from 10:30 am thru 3:30 pm.  Back to LA by 6 pm.

Email jdewart@q.com to sign up.  Meeting location will be sent to participants.
