SUMMARY:Snow Play Weekend in Chama (xc-ss)
DESCRIPTION:  High Country\, Ho! I've booked a 3-bed suite & 6 more ro
	oms at Chama Trails Inn\, right opposite the High Country Restaurant. 
	Friday and Saturday nights\, Jan. 16 & 17\, 2009. (Hotel is opposite t
	he turnoff to Pagosa Springs. Owners are Chester and Starla Santo\, wh
	o've become my friends over the years.) XC skiers and snowshoers of al
	l levels are welcome. Get away to sleepy little Chama. The village is 
	at nearly 8000 feet. We'll ski & shoe days at 10K\, so bring lots of w
	arm layers. Hot tub at the hotel. Cost should be approx. $80-90 for lo
	dging both nights\, plus meals. Things close early up there\, so I'm s
	uggesting a Friday night finger food potluck in suite 16 (quiet party 
	central) or eat dinner on the way up (3 hrs. as crow flies\; allow 4 f
	rom ABQ). Big dinner together Sat. Breakfasts out\, trail lunch & snac
	ks. Ojo Caliente a worthy side trip\, not too far out of the way\, en 
	route home (my car\, anyway). Bring a bathing suit for hot tubbing\, &
	 rubber sandals. Cost for Ojo is $22. on weekends. I've done group ski
	 trips to Chama for 14 years. The champagne powder and serene landscap
	e keep calling me back. UPDATE: This is the weekend of the 36th Annual
	 Chama Chile Ski Classic\, which will be Sun. Jan. 18: xc ski & snowsh
	oe races for all ages & abilities. Check it out at www.chamaski.com - 
	you can enter the race or be a cheerleader! There's also a hot air bal
	loon rally this weekend\, which is why I can't expand the number of ro
	oms. Ski & snowshoe rental: REI offers free pickup & dropoff days\; al
	so check Sportz Outdoorz.\n
