Greetings,

Rumor Brewing, located in Cedar Crest (behind La Cabra Coffee) will be hosting an event next Sunday, 2-6pm featuring music and activities. See attached flyer for details. Hope you can make it!

...you will need your own personal protective gear, including hard-hats.

Hello all,

Over the last 2 months, Scott, Bruce and I have made good progress; leveling out the south section of the Klaus trail, and below bunny hill,  rerouting the sharp downhill turn above the upper 10k meadow and also, with permission and guidance from SRD, and Russell Berman, we have made a new connection linking up to the upper Challenge Trail which we also plan on grooming to create a new upper loop option from Ellis.  All of these  improvements will make for safer, more enjoyable skiing next season.

We now need your assistance with finish work on these sections and we are planning to have  a trail work day Sat. Aug 12.  Details on meeting time and place to follow.

Please RSVP to me.  Tools will be provided thanks to FOSM and SRD but you will need your personal protective gear, including hard-hats.  Let me know if you need a hardhat as well.

Hope to see you Saturday Aug. 12
