<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: xx-small;">1st plume of smoke seen in Los Alamos. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>On Sunday, June 26, 2011, the Las Conchas wildfire began near the Las Conchas climbing area in the Jemez Mountains. Within 48 hours the wildfire became the largest in New Mexico history, ballooning even larger than the previous record-holder, the Cerro Grande Fire, in only a day. <br />
<br />
The forest conditions at the time of the fire were ripe for disaster. There had been minimal snowfall during the winter, and no spring rains to speak of. June was an erratic combination of unusually blustery winds combined with scorching heat, and a few days of unusually cold and windy conditions. The National Forest Service had initiated Stage III fire restrictions on June 24th, but unfortunately, wind caused an aspen to fall on a power line, and the fire went chaotically out of control within minutes. Considered to be human-caused, because humans built the power line, this tragic fire seems an unfortunate act of fate.<br />

The gusto of the DOME Free-Ride Alliance to get out and ride the trails prior to the forest closures didn't portend the disaster that was to come. Our motivation to ride the majestic and beautiful trails near Cochiti Mesa came only from a disappointment to not be able to ride them during the forest closure and before the monsoons opened the trails back up. Little did we know that the trails would be severely impacted and altered for the rest of our lifetime.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

But the view had turned to the uncomfortably familiar sight of burnt trees and ashen forest floor.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The initial priorities include erosion mitigation, clearing downed logs, rehabilitating the trails that are initially repairable, and rerouting those that have endured more damage. Slowly and in time, regrowth happens, and small changes become larger and more noticeable. Those of us living in these times will never see these portions of our forest look the way it once did, but the experience of Cerro Grande shows us the progression that occurs over time--or at least 11 years.<br />
<br />
The Pajarito Ski Area, considered the green forested haven after the Cerro Grande Fire, also took some direct hits from the Las Conchas Fire, but amazingly, a significant portion of the mountain is still okay. Neal Pederson, who has long spearheaded the development of the biking and free-ride trails at Pajarito, recently surveyed the trail damage on the mountain.<br />
