I'm looking for any suggestions for Los Alamos/White Rock winter bouldering. I trekked over to North Rd. West this afternoon and quickly realized that it's currently under a huge snow drift. :)

Check out the Jemez, after the snow is gone.

There's supposedly a good traverse along the base of the Playground, which is generally south facing.

Down by gallows edge in WR there are a few boulders that could be climbed on. For that matter, anywhere in white rock canyon has potential if you're willing to search and brave the rocky landings.
in los, out by western area is clifty, i hiked up there a few weeks ago and on the south facing slopes the snow is mostly gone. there are few boulder problems up there and a lot of rock for someone with some dedication.
good luck!
