Trail Crew Update

November - December 2022

Lower Digger, Snowfall and Memberships!

 

This month we were able to get a lot done on the trails! November was just a little bit less dry, so trail crew started working our way down Lower Digger to mitigate the damage done by the long summer. It went a little quicker after having done a major revamp last year, so we made good time! The tabletops were topped up, the berms enhanced, the landings replenished, and the drainage reestablished – all to make this fast & flowy trail the best it can be! We saw our first major rainfall AND snowfall of the season – with that comes many fallen trees, so a few days were spent clearing those. Taking advantage of the hero dirt, we brought the bikes out for a few rides and to test out the berms!

The work that we do out on the trails would not be possible without our members. Your membership dollars go directly to our trail crew, our builders, our tools, our insurance, and to the admin who corral us all! If you’ve ridden Lower Digger or Boundary in the last month and have enjoyed the trail work, please become a member! And if you’re riding with your friends who aren’t members, give ‘em a nudge over to our website. The trails are free, but the maintenance is not;) 

We appreciate your support, and look forward to seeing you out there!
