Cross Country ski tour in the vicinity of the VCNP

This will be about a 4 mile cross-country ski tour on trails in the Jemez area near the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Exact location will depend on snow conditions. Options include the mellow terrain along the Guaje Canyon trail along Canada Bonita out to a viewpoint into the Valles Caldera National Preserve, following the roads within the VCNP, the Upper Frijoles Overlook trail, and the Los Griegos area.
You will need minimal skill on your skis so you can control your speed on the downhill sections. Also skis with a climbing or grip pattern or climbing wax.
Typical meeting spot in Santa Fe is the parking lot behind Marketplace supermarket on the north end of Santa Fe.

The drive to the start of our skiing is between 40 and 50 miles.
