Hello trail adopters and trail users! As we reach the end of the season and the leaves start to fall, raking and leaf-blowing season is nearly upon us. Equipment is available for use, and Brian can help coordinate. If you are new and this sounds like fun to you (it is!), send us a message and we can get you sorted. Even just a few hours makes a difference.
Happy raking and leaf blowing!

Now is a great time to come out and enjoy the last of the riding season on the ‘Round the Mountain trail! We recently installed a goat sculpture and a raven sculpture along the trail. The goat is at the lookout where the bench is and the raven is on a rock on the side of the trail closer to the chairlift. Please be respectful and do not sit on the sculptures. Thanks to Great Bear Ironworks and Hudson Bay Mountain Resort !
