We went to the Sandia Crest today to check on conditions for the upcoming Wilderness Medicine Elective. The verdict? Great snow for the beginning part of the course. The wilderness medicine course has several modules, including the hypothermia lab in the Sandias, desert survival at Cabezon, backcountry snow camping and avalanche awareness at Taos, and canyon country backpacking in Utah. March is a great month to experience the variety of environments and weather conditions in the high desert of the Southwest. In some years past, we have had very little precipitation, however, for our snow-dependent activities. This year promises to be a good year for our Sandia Mountain and Taos excursions! This photo was taken today by my wife, Satkirin Khalsa. The well-dressed attractive individual in this photo is our dog Nanda.
