What to pack

What March feels like

The valley thaws and refreezes daily, which is why the dirt roads out toward Hermosa turn to soup for a few weeks. Spring skiing up the highway is genuinely good while town is already thinking about patios.

Expect about 6 days with something falling — rain, snow, or the sloppy mix in between. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
