Snow King Trail Update by Piker

I have talked to many hikers, cyclist and several horseback riders. Response is overwhelmingly positive about having a FS/FoP rep on the trails.

Teton Pass Trail Update from Pike

EJ Update - Teton Pass 6/20/10

Chris P., Mike Piker, Drew Kneeland, and Walt Berling spent a lot of time clearing the Teton Pass trails this week. They opened up Phillips Canyon, the Ridge Trail, Arrow Trail, Big Rocks, the History Trail, and lower Blacks. Thanks for your hard working efforts. The trail ambassadors have been kicking butt and doing all the trail maintenance this year. Note that some big patches of snow still exist in the high woodsy sections of Arrow Trail and Phillips canyon. I was up at the Phillips Canyon trailhead on Teton Pass yesterday and there were a ton of people enjoying the newly cleared trails.

This week is going to be a huge one. The St. Anthony’s work crew is back. We have this hard working 20 person hand crew for 2 weeks. They will be working on the Game Creek reroute early in the week. It shouldn’t take them much more than two days to finish, since the SCA’s have gotten so far. There is less than a mile left to go. After that they will be working on the Josie’s Ridge reroute. This is a smaller reroute of about 1500 ft. and should take them only a day.

EJ Update - Greater SnowKing 6/20/10

Hello everyone. Operation trail construction continues in Upper Game Creek. The Student Conservations Association kids are doing great. At the moment the kids along with our help have dug almost 4000 ft. of trail. The trail is coming out great. The soils continue to hold just enough moisture to bring the new tread right to compaction. The new tread is very buffed out from the hard finishing work effort of the FS/FOP crew. The kids have been troopers camping out in some inclement weather early on in their hitch. They have never once complained and keep a great attitude. It is nice to see them finally get some good weather. The SCA kids are digging through Monday. By the end of it all they will have dug for 10 days and will have constructed about a mile of trail. Mike Welch arranged to get the kids pizza at Mountain High Pizza Pie on Monday. Thanks Mike for the nice reward for the SCA’s.

We saw upwards of 40 people checking out the new reroute in Game Creek on Friday. The trail users were loving it. I bet that there will be a ton of folks out there this weekend.
