Forgot to mention: Death camas is blooming all over the ski runs. All it took was some moisture. Also saw the light lavender wild geranium, erigeron which must be getting on in age as it's losing its color and tending toward whiteness, maybe whitlow grass, Indian paintbrush, yarrow, lots of fireweed.
The moisture made the distance viewing misty so I couldn't see the Water Canyon area to assess the Las Conchas fire damage. I could see the first part of the Cañada Bonita/Nordic/Snowshoe trails well enough to see they are quite burnt. Cerra Bonita, the mountain directly north of Pajarito, has some burn damage - more toasted than charcoalized, if I'm remembering correctly. Need to go up on a clear day with a pair of binoculars.
