So we managed to roll into town at about midnight and post up at a hotel somewhere near the mouth of the canyon. We made it to the resort this morning and scoped what we thought would be the Day 1 venue, but halfway through the day patrollers announced the first (and likely every day’s) venue would be Kachina Peak. We made the half-hour or so trek up the 12,481′ peak and picked out some lines. Athlete meeting at 6p and then Day 1 of the event tomorrow.

A couple photos from today ->

Entering New Mexico. Bad time for murder mystery reading time.

Weirdo clouds.

There’s skiing in New Mexico?
