Thread: Macintosh Mills XC Ski trail clearing begins!

Fellow cyclists,

A number of members of the BCC utilize the Mac Mills trail 
network for XC skiing & snowshoeing during the winter months.

We are starting work for the 2009/2010 ski season by beginning 
our organized trail clearing this weekend (Oct 17'th / 18'th).

Meet at the Macintosh Mills parking lot (can't say Chalet 
anymore :( ) at 9:00am either morning. There is still some work to 
do on clearing the debris as a result of the Chalet fire so some 
of us will work on that. However, we would like to get all the 
West trails cleared this weekend. With many hands this can be 
accomplished.

The club has few tools now, so we are going to rely on the 
volunteers to bring, handsaws, snippers, etc. We do have access 
to 3 chainsaws.

Bring food, water, change of clothes in case of rain and some 
energy to get out and have a fun day of hiking/clearing the 
trails!

Feel free to 'work' for an hour and then take the family for a 
hike.

Cheers,
Rob Gates
Trails Director, Triangle XC Ski Club
