Sandia Peak Snowshoe Race

OK all you boy's and girls it’s that time for some fun in the snow (got my fingers crossed, that we get lots of snow). A group of us did this last year and had a blast. Even though it says race, most of us just hiked the course. You get a cool shirt and all the profits go to the Friends of the Sandia's. So what better way to send Saturday mourning? We will meet at 8:30am and carpool up to the crest for the race that starts at 10am. Sign up early to make sure you get a spot. Event info: The 2009 Sandia Peak Snowshoe race is Albuquerque’s only snowshoe race. It is a 3.2-mile race held atop the Sandia Mountains at an elevation of 10,678 feet. The views through the crystal-clear skies are magnificent: to the west is the sprawling city of Albuquerque, with the Rio Grande winding through it; to the north and east, you can see Santa Fe and the “Turquoise Trail”. Cost: $25.00 through January 12, 2008 $35.00 after January 12, 2008, including race day. Go here for the low down:Sandia Snowshoe Website
