Hello Skiers,
After asking for volunteers to work on ski trails on Saturdays in October, I checked the hunting proclamation and learned that there will be elk hunts from Sat. through Wed. every week. Several years ago, we stopped working on trails during
deer and elk hunts.
There are no elk hunts on Thursday and Friday during October, and deer hunts are in the first week in November.
I would like to plan trail work on Thursday or Friday during the month before Oct. 23 when our vol. agreement will expire.
Please let me know if you can work on Thursday or Friday in the first 3 weeks of Oct. I probably prefer working on Fridays, because many of us work on the Sandia Ranger District on Wednesdays.

Due to the court ruling about the Mexico Spotted Owl, all work involving cutting trees/vegetation on several National Forests in the southwest has stopped. Until there are changes in the present ruling, we will not be permitted to cut trees
on the Santa Fe NF.
I will let Ski Club members know when we may work on our trails.
