Sandia Nordic Ski Club’s groomed trails improvement project is a component of STIP. The purpose of the meeting is for Kerry Wood, the Trails and Wilderness Program Manager for the Sandia Ranger District, to provide an overview of the 5 components of STIP. Hope you can come out and show your support for this broad-based project that includes hiking biking trails in Placitas, improvements in existing trails in the east mountains and purpose built trails for xc skiing and mountain biking.
