Vice Chair - Jen & Jeff Magnuson
Jeff & Jen moved to Mancos with their two heelers in 2020 after drooling over a saved Zillow search in the area for four years and dreaming of being part of the community here. After several adventures on the trails in the area, they met some of the MTG folks and couldn’t pass up an opportunity to get their hands dirty and invest some sweat into the amazing recreational resources here! Jen is an adventure photographer, and Jeff is the Race Director for Race Across America. They both enjoy mountain biking green and blue trails, hiking, backpacking, paddling, nordic and alpine skiing, road biking, and camping. Jen is a runner and Ironman triathlete who has recently coaxed Jeff into lacing up some running shoes and learning a swim stroke so he can experience the euphoria of the finish line too. They serve MTG as co-occupants of the vice chair role on the board, assisting with events, work days, fundraisers, and grant applications. |

Treasurer-Alice & Lance Miller
As a family, we love biking, hiking, cross country skiing and ‘eating out’ in the forest. Volunteering for MTG is our way of giving back to the community and to a group that is passionate and dedicated about the sustainability of trails. Lance is a graduate of Fort Lewis College and eagerly wanted to bring his family back to the Four Corners area. Lance has 30+ years experience in finance with the last 18 years in financial controller positions. Alice is a born and bred Aussie from the tropics and her first snow experience was in Breckenridge in 2002. ‘Come for the winter, stay for the summer’ they said. After a few winter seasons, experiencing a summer was next on the list and well, the rest they say is history. With an accounting background and varied positions held over the years, Team Miller brings lots of accounting experience to the role of treasurer. |

Communications Secretary - Rebecca Gostlin
Rebecca and her family have lived and played in the Mancos Valley since 2009. Both Rebecca and her husband, Mike, have deep roots in the outdoor industry. Stints in wilderness therapy and bike shops took them from Moab, to Park City, to Durango. Once they discovered Mancos, they knew it was their forever home. Rebecca, a mental health therapist by training, has worked at the cross section of education and healthcare for years. She is grateful for the opportunity to bring her non-profit experience to Mancos Trail Group as a board member after several years of engaging with MTG through trail days and as a trail adopter. Joining the board is a great way to continue to care for the amazing trails she enjoys running, riding, and hiking with her three dogs, daughter, and husband. Inside and outdoors, Rebecca enjoys photography, cooking, and reading. |

Board Member at Large - Cindy Morin
After 10 years riding her horse through the many trails here, Cindy decided to join the MTG board to return the favor for such great trails! Her horse is now retired so she now has a steel stead (x-country bike). She currently is a Firm Administrator at a local CPA firm in Durango. Prior to that, she spent many years in the racehorse business, raising foals, training babies and layups and galloping. School beckoned again so with a degree in Business Administration, she went corporate. That lasted a few years and then a cattle ranch in Wyoming called her. She has now lived in Colorado just over 20 years moving till she found her current home in Mancos. She also enjoys hiking and snowshoeing with her dogs (all rescues), good music and dancing. |
