A lot of snow, a lot of family events and a lot of holidays have conspired to keep me off the trails and plying the asphalt and concrete. I haven't snowshoed since Pajarito Mountain. Mostly the past 3 weeks, it's snowed so much that with my snow unworthy car, I'm limited in where I can park - my car will get stuck if it runs over a snowball! Maybe next week I'll be able to find a well broken trail to snowshoe that also has a snow-free place for me to park the boat.
The Las Conchas Closure will be amended soon. The Southwest Nordic Ski Club's (SWNSC) blog says that a few trails that have been mitigated (cutting down burnt, hazard trees, etc.) will reopen. So far, the only ones scheduled to reopen are the Nordic Ski Trails (in part, called the Cañada Bonita Trail/Guaje Canyon Trail 282) at the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area. The Cañada Bonita/Guaje Canyon Trail 282 will reopen as far as Guaje Canyon overlook. Pipeline Road will reopen from Quemazon Trail to the Guaje Canyon Trail 282 at the overlook into Valle de los Posos. The Nail Trail, off West Jemez Road, will reopen all the way to Camp May Road (the map on the SWNSC blog indicates that Forest Road 2998 is included). I'm happy about this!!
