One of my favorite local's mountains in North America, Santa Fe had beautiful conditions today after scoring a 20-inch dump on Tuesday. The groomers were like velvet, the bumps were soft, and I found knee-deep untracked in the woods (lots of tree skiing there).
Unless you have one of those widescreen lenses (or whatever they're called), it's tough to convey the amazing desert panorama you get from the summit. Sorry, I'm getting lazy with the pix; all I have are a couple scenics.
A silly short clip that shows how smooth the groomed trails were:
Here are a few better photos from early December 2002. For the record, I'd never recommend booking a destination trip to NM during the month of December, but that year the state was offering some preposterous ski/lodging deal -- I think I returned with more money than before I went -- and after it snowed like hell around Thanksgiving (it was an El Nino year), I pulled the trigger.
