Ravine filling day.


Will no bridge work happening today, we figured we may as well make good use of the tractor. So we went to work filling in a ravine at the next bridge upstream.   This was formerly called the National Guard bridge.   After years of erosion a crevice was made that was difficult, not to mention dangerous to groom early in the season, plus it was a early season challenge for skiing.




First the sites weeds were whacked back, then logs moved out of the way.





Then Arly went to scraping back a bump that was too tall.
This will moderate the hill skiers must descend.





Then rocks were found and dozed down

 



Most were scraped off the hill side.





Gromit inspects the work progress.





Here gravel and rock is being dumped in the cut.










Rocks being dumped, just where we needed them.






Late in the afternoon Mark's wonderful back blade he
loaned us experienced a mechanical.   To be continued.....
