I'm headed up toEagle Nest Lake State Park, near Angel Fire, NM tomorrow and Wednesday (Google Map). This is the location of the old SW Snowkite Event. I'll be parked by one of the boat ramps in the main campground, and have a windsock and such setup at a prep area. Unfortunately forecast shifted from the weekend so I'm looking to be solo, with hopefully a couple people from here in CO meeting up with me.

Ice is around 12" thick at minimum, and the snow on top is 6-8" powder on top of compacted/melted/etc snow, everywhere with considerably bigger drifts throughout the lake.

Here's the wind forecast for Angel Fire Airport (10 or so miles to the south and in a canyon so gusts there read/forecast about 30-50% bigger than on the lake)

We are looking forward to it!
I hope it is as nice as Dillon was last week.
