Skiing New Mexico's Oldest Commercial Ski Resort (Sipapu)
Invading with the gang in 2020. The best snow on the mountain today was on this run. Who knows where the "Chutes" really are.
We later found the tighter trees of the elusive lower Wormwood. This place has a lot of glade runs for its size.
Indecision 2020: This normally is my favorite run on this mountain, but today thin cover made for lots of hazards to watch for.
I can't believe I still have this little 808 model #16 camera after 7 years!
WormWood in 2015: My vote for best advanced run on mountain! Nice conditions too. This used to be a very hard run but it has been thinned
out to be a very nice glade (still black however). Time stamp on video is wrong.
Worm: Skiing Worm on 1/3/2015 (ignore stamp on video) using an 808 #16 (D-Lens) camera attached to my goggles.
I love the runs on the top (newest) part of the mountain!
Jib and Josh Chute: The ski map isn't really correct here.
All this footage is at the very top, and I guess we didn't really do any of the "Chutes" but instead
stayed on the main ridge line all the way to Howdy Doody.
So basically we went between Worm and WormWood the whole way. Time stamp on the video is wrong.
No Caboose: Taking our time through a fun glade run. Time stamp on video is wrong.
Oops: Thin cover today, but hey, at least it is open as it often isn't! Time stamp on video is wrong.
No Whiners: Just a simple, moderate chute where an old poma lift used to be.
A little narrow and fast and often has a tricky double fall line that can get you!
Time date on video is wrong.
Choppo: This is just the "Middle" part, but is the biggest part of the a bunch of tree runs on this part of the mountain.
Time stamp on video is wrong.
An old favorite. I pretty much learned how to ski bumps on this run many years ago.
Bumps weren't very good today and the whole run was a little hard-packed in many places too.
Time stamp on video is wrong.
Jimbo Gully: Sipapu seems to be practicing active population control in the name of Darwinism by having several narrow
tree runs listed as "Green" or "Blue" like this one. Time stamp on video is wrong.
