Skiing in the Caldera

This weekend Matt and I abandoned Socorro in order to avoid some sort of civil war battle reenactment. Not sure what they were fighting for. We went to Albuquerque and saw Pan's Labyrinth with Arun, which was quite good, and then up to Santa Fe to hang out with Kristin and Patrick. Sunday we went up to the Valles Caldera to do some cross country skiing, and Kristin and Patrick tried out kite-skiing. It was windy enough! This place is absolutely gorgeous, and it is a prototype for a joint land management program. The public lands area is operated by the Valles Caldera Trust, which is not completely government-run.
