COMMUNITY CROSS COUNTRY SKIING

                         TRAIL SYSTEM AND ACCESS

      The goal is to have approximately 15 kilometers of groomed trail open

this season.   The proposed trail will run the looped Diamond Back Trail,

passing close to the old Diamond Peak lodge, then out to Knock Your Socks

Off Rock, following some gentl terrain back to include the old Peek of the

Lake loop.   We hope to groom at least once a week.   But, the frequency of

grooming will depend on the amount of operating funds and volunteer support

we are able to raise.

      Since parking at the pull out for the old Diamond Peak XC Ski Center was an

issue for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (they considered it to detract

from the view corridor, we suggest that users park up at the meadows and ski

along the public easement access to reach the groomed trails.   Probably the

best access point will be at the top of the old Diamond Back Trail on the

old Mt. Rose Highway where it almost comes out on highway 431.
