I will have to keep that in mind for the next trip up to Red River, NM. You could go with your bike and there was some doubletrack on the top of the mountain, it was pretty flat area for teaching the kiddos to ski. It was the coming down that looked hairy but it wasn't a straight shot, just the normal beginner ski trail. The "easier" ski trail is really wide, like a jeep trail. By next trip (in a few years) I won't be a total beginner anyway but I kind of wish I had tried it out in July. Too bad we have no mountains in central Texas.
