It was a productive month out on the mountains as the trail crew, builders and volunteers have keep up with maintenance while trail users get in their last few adventures before the end of the summer. A lot of fresh gold (mineral soil) has been transferred to the trails with other work including some cedar feature upgrades, planned rerouting, prepping cedar for even more upgrading, shaping berms and tetris-ing rocks for some effective armouring.
Some of the work includes:
-
- Keeping the Fromme Ascent fresh
-
- Dirt and Drainage on Pennzoil
-
- Fresh corners on Leppard
-
- Cedar prep for Seymour
-
- Working on a reroute on Pangor
The old drop at the entrance to Boogieman finally had to be updated. Head up to check out the new cedar drop the Builders and volunteers have put together.
-
- Fresh tracks on Applicator
-
- 2 Line options on the Dempsey climb
-
- Patching up the landing zone on Lower Digger
