When will the Preserve be open for skiing and snow shoe activities?
Winter activities on the Valles Caldera National Preserve will begin on December 26, 2009, weather permitting, and, if the snow stays, will end on March 21, 2010. Follow us on Twitter for current conditions. Skiing and snowshoeing activities in the Valle Grande will be available daily during the holiday season of December 26th thru January 3rd from 9 AM to 4 PM. After January 3rd, the Preserve will only be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 AM to 4 PM. In addition, we will be open for public appreciation days on Martin Luther King, Jr. day (January 18) and on Washington’s birthday (February 15). This season we have three night events planned. Moon light skiing will allow the visitor a chance to experience the magic of the Preserve after the sun goes down.
