Machine Built Trails

Get the right machine and pick the right zone.

• Lower 911 reroute
• Luge reroutes
• Dual Slalom/4X/Pump Track
• DC’s lower line

Mark Salisbury has a mini-excavator he said we could borrow/use for a couple weeks. He will also provide machine transportation to and from the hill.

We will scout and route, clip and clear lines so they are walkable for others to check out.

We propose hiring D-Mac Trail Inc. to provide professional consultation regarding the feasibility of our scouted lines and to provide an estimate on time and cost of the projects.

Fund-raising to help cover costs.

Hire an operator to start the work and train trail crew leaders.

Build in March & April.
