Spring trails update!

Even though the St. Patrick's Day storm blessed us "Irish" with more lovely snow, you can thank the previous warm rainy weather for water crossings which are preventing grooming. Skiing is still good, though.

This is Lookout Loop, south of Spring Creek.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2626" align="alignnone" width="640"]dl_0614 Inspection of Sunset Trail. Looking good! Nice to see the result of appropriate trail clearing.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2628" align="alignnone" width="461"]100_0681 John was out too. Here's how Christensen Rd. looked Saturday morning. This corridor was not brushed back last fall.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2627" align="aligncenter" width="640"]dl_0615 Near "the triangle" on Lookout Loop. Some scraggly jack pine have fallen over. Maybe they were dead to start with??[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2630" align="aligncenter" width="640"]IMG_0634 On Sunday, we checked the City side and the gorge. Here you see the vast open areas from water flow on Quincy Trail.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2631" align="aligncenter" width="640"]IMG_0635 Snowfence trail also has some whoppers. We plan to make trail corrections so these areas may be groomed early and late each season. A tractor, back hoe, and culverts will make a world of difference.[/caption]
