Please plan to join us on September 3 to hear FOSM co-founder Sam Beard tell us about another organization he helped start, the New Mexico Cross Country Ski Club <https://ski.nmccskiclub.org/>.
Date and Time - September 3, 7:00 PM

Location - Sandia Ranger Station conference room

Program abstract - Sam will present information about the N. M. Cross Country Ski Club: history, activities, trail development, comparison of NMCCSC with the Sandia Nordic Ski Club, and photographs of skiing in several areas in N. M. and southern Colorado.

Speaker bio - Sam joined the USAF after high school, trained as a Russian linguist in Texas and Monterey, CA, and was stationed near London for three years. He earned degrees in physics from Mars Hill Junior College and N. C. State University. Sam and wife Edwina moved to Albuquerque in 1965, and Sam retired from Sandia National Laboratories in 2003 after 37 years in the Aerothermodynamics Group. Sam began developing cross-country ski trails on the Sandia Ranger District as a volunteer in 1970, published a trail guide in 1979, and published a second edition in 1988. He is a founding member of the N. M. Cross Country Ski Club, N. M. Volunteers for the Outdoors, and Friends of the Sandia Mountains.

We look forward to seeing you on the 3rd.

Thanks,

Cliff Giles
