Cheers to all the hardworking trail crews across the world that spend the summer months slinging chainsaws to maintain the slopes we love to ride. It’s a tough job and we appreciate everything you do. Here’s a quick video from the folks at Crystal Mountain in Washington shedding light on how their ski trails are made and maintained:
“Their primary goal? Enhancing the skier and rider experience and breathing new life into the older, overgrown terrain, making it more accessible and enjoyable to ski and ride for the public. But their work goes beyond creating flowy lines; it’s about helping the forest grow and carefully considering how their efforts impact the mountain’s ecosystem; ensuring that they preserve the natural environment and maintain a healthy forest.
This summer, they have been cleaning and opening up Northway terrain to improve the skiing and riding. Stay tuned for more info on trail updates coming soon. Check out the important work they are doing; both for natural forest growth and for enhancing the ski runs at the largest ski resort in Washington.”
