We still are NOT grooming.
We have been out doing trail work for the last week. On Monday, January 11, we were out replacing signs on the plowed sections of the 109 and B Pond trail that were “displaced” by the plow trucks. We also cut a significant amount of tree tops that were in the snow banks along the B Pond trail. All plowing has now stopped.
Clearing trees from the PP X-over on January 16, 2016
On January 14 we cleared the Parkway and the Scenic Loop of all the trees that were laying in the trails.
On Friday, January 15, we finished clearing the 109 all the way to ITS 86 and we also opened up our section of the Black Pond trail. We worked our way south via the Jo Mary Road and headed east on the 111. Even though we had hired a contractor to mechanically brush out the 111 in early December we still had a large number of trees that managed to fall across that same section of trail. Trees down everywhere!
On Saturday, January 16, we opened up the P.P. X-over trail (from the 109 to the Parkway). It took all day but we got’er done!
Sunday, January 18, we removed all “hangers” from the Gauntlet Falls/Greenwood Mountain loop.
As of this writing (January 17) we still don’t have enough snow on the southern end of our trail system to get our groomers out onto the trails. As soon as we receive sufficient snow to groom we will be out on the trails. Thanks for your patience!
