Pajarito Ski Area 2 reviews 5 of 5
XC trail heads west past lodge on singletrack & uphill into woods. Ride through Camp May after about a mile. Cross the road after about 2 miles & continue uphill to right after 2nd road intersection(150'' on road). Climb switchbacks for 1/2 mile then contour about 1 mile east towards an open area called Porcupine Park. Follw the doubletrack east after Porcupine Park and go uphill on a small singletrack on the right to the top at Aspen Lift (true summit is straight up above Porcupine Park). Muy Loco DH trail drops straight down from Porcupine Park, has drops and a big log ride/drop (this trail alternates right turns & left turns at each road intersection after the log ride). Mothers Milk FR trail drops down off the XC trail after that trail crosses Porcupine Park (when going downhill)Look for pink flags & 100''log ride just below the XC trail. Go left at road then down Nuther Mother slope after crossing under the blue lift. Many log rides and small drops on this trail also easy teeter-tooter. Turn right when intersecting the lower XC trail. A new FR/DH stunt trail starts off of One More Time ski run(still under construction). Best rock garden in the state(ON THE ROCKS)rides the boulder field below the Aspen (black)lift then bombs straight down the hiking trail to the lodge (STEEP!). More good XC singletrack on the east end of the ski area. Also a new short tech trail (downhill direction only)called May Day goes east off the XC trail from the lowest point of Camp May. All of this is good technical riding in beautiful montain scenery above 9,000 feet. The view north to Canada Bonita near the top of the upper XC switchbacks is unsurpassed. There is a maze of stuff up here which gets confusing (because of the cross roads) untill you know where it all goes. Hopefully there will soon be a small map.
