Klaus Trail Work Report for 7-23-22

Up on the cool and shady Klaus Trail for our first Saturday session of the year!

On Saturday we had a great group of 15 representing Sandia Nordic Ski Club, Friends of the Sandia Mountain and Volunteers for the Outdoors up on the cool and shady Klaus Trail for our first Saturday session of the year.  We split into two groups with one group doing finish work along a section previously leveled with the mini-excavator. The second group removed old logs and branches piled up along the edge of the trail decades ago done at that time in support of the UNM ski team led by Klaus Weber.  Workers included Jenny Blackmore, Sim Cook, Jon Dellios, Scott Dietrich, Paul Gourley, Vicky Kaufman, Glen Koelling, Mike Madden, Chris Mommsen, Steve Roholt, Luke Schnickel, Michael Arndt, Ralph Wrons, Chris Murray and Jeff Huser.  Both tasks were handily completed, and we will continue with leveling, and a couple reroutes to make the Klaus trail into a very nice  addition to our groomed trail system. Look for more Saturday opportunities in the weeks to come.

  1. I only seem to receive these notices after the event, like after you had a clinic last winter and now after the trail maintenance. Can you send out an invite AHEAD of events?
    Thanks

    1. Sorry you didn’t get the work plan notices. We usually send out an e-mail though our google group sandia-nordic-ski-club@googlegroups.com If you could sign up to this google group best way to get most current info. I will try to duplicate the announcement on the website and we usually also post announcement on our FB page.
