Sam and Michael, thanks so much!   Challenge trail has been hard to find from 10k and hard to follow lately, I’m sure your work will help a lot! Hopefully this will help keep the snowshoe traffic off the groomed Nordic trails too.

Subject: [NMCCSC] Diamonds on Rerouted Challenge Trail and Hwy Wreck, Sat., March 31

Hello Skiers,

 

On Sat., March 31, Michael Arndt and I installed about 30 additional blue diamonds on the rerouted Challenge Trail between 10K South Trailhead and Ellis Trailhead to make the trail easier to follow.

 

A report of this outing is attached. The report includes two photos an SUV that went off the highway at the first switchback below Ellis TH and hit a tree.
