What a difference a year makes! Thanks to your support, we’ve made strides in enhancing our trails. This year, we successfully completed significant upgrades to a bridge & made improvements to several sections of our trails, ensuring a safer, smoother & more enjoyable experience for everyone.
But we’re not stopping there—there’s still more work to do!
In the coming year, we’re focused on addressing key challenges and improving the quality of our trails to meet our long-term vision. We’ve just received approval to fix a troublesome section of trail that has struggled with low snow conditions, & we’ll continue to raise the bar on trail quality with additional upgrades, including:
Enhancing drainage on low-lying sections
Smoothing out uneven trail sections for better skiing
Addressing problem areas affected by low snow conditions
Planning is ongoing for our long-term goal to expand our trail system, and we are working on securing approvals and funds for the next phase, with initial project estimates upwards of $270k.
With your help, we can keep improving and expanding our trail system! Donate now & you’ll receive a tax receipt for your contribution.
Check out the posters below for details on both events & how you can register.
