Far West Skier's Guide - 2012-2013 - (Page 74)
Taos, New Mexico’s largest ski resort, has a variety of terrain attracting snowsport enthusiasts of all abilities. It also has a top rated ski school. photo courtesy of Taos Ski Valley In addition to local day trips, the New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club offers multi-day ski touring trips. Often, they reserve huts within the 10th Mountain Division hut system like this one near Leadville, Colorado. A skier must be capable of carrying a full pack and have at least a Class II ability level. photo by Bill Heitz
New Mexico Ski Club Council
by Diane Stearley, President The New Mexico Ski Club Council was formed in 1999 and is still the smallest council in the Far West Ski Association. We serve mostly the Northern and Central area of New Mexico with all clubs located in the Albuquerque area. Even though our clubs all have skiing in common, they each are friendly, vibrant clubs with their own diverse character and size of membership. This year, our clubs enjoyed several ski trips mostly in New Mexico and Colorado. Taos, Red River, Santa Fe, Telluride, Crested Butte, and Pagosa Springs, were all club organized trips with many sub-groups within the clubs tripping out to destinations far and wide. The New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club and the Sitzmarkers Ski Club are year round clubs and enjoy water skiing, boating, camping, softball leagues, back yard parties, and just hanging out together. Being a member of a FWSA ski club has many great benefits, including: group travel, the opportunity to race, receiving the Far West Skier’s Guide magazine, FWSA support to local clubs on local issues regarding insurance and legislation, and networking with other similar minded ski enthusiasts.
