Looking for some great aerobic and strength workouts off the bike? Check out our ( the newly formed Sandia Nordic Ski Club’s) groomed cross country ski course in the Sandias, accessible from the Ellis or 10K trail head or the tram. A challenging 4 mi circuit nicely groomed for both skate and classic skiing! See attached map for details. Existing groomed trail in green. The 488 is at the Ellis trailhead and the 10k parking lot can be seen in the upper middle of the map. Conditions and grooming reports can be found at
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SandiaNordicSkiClub/info. Current conditions are excellent and we are working in cooperation with the Forest service and plan to expand this in the future.
