Barrier Fence Up

On Saturday the barrier fence went up on the trail connecting Maasto's St. Urho's loop to the rest of the trails on the City side of Swedetown Gorge.  In this area the ski trail parallels the snowmobile trail north of the county fairgrounds so the barrier fence is used to guide snowmobiles off the old railroad grade and on to the short bypass around that section of RR grade used by our ski trails.  We are happy to have access to the RR grade there to provide better views of Swedetown Gorge for our skiers.


The project starts with picking up mulch hay at the Baccus Dairy Farm in the Traprock Valley.
This year new 4x4 posts were set (carefully avoiding the buried main fiber optic line which connects the northern Keweenaw to the internet!) to provide better anchor points for the fence than the trees we have used in the past.





A little rope, 50 feet of snow fence, 2x2s set in the hay bales, lots of zip ties and some reflectors all go into the mix.  

















In the end we have a barrier to keep skiers and snowmobilers safe and happy.
