🚜❄️ Summer trail work is hard work—and this week, we made some major progress!
After three summers of work with an excavator, we have finally completed the major dirt work along the Sageway Loop! We originally cut in Sageway and Greta’s Run three summers ago, but the trail was still pretty wild during its first season of skiing. Last summer, we focused on improving the lower section, and this summer we finished the upper side.
That means the big machine work is finally done—but the project isn’t quite finished yet! There are still plenty of rocks to pick up, dirt to move, and areas to rake and smooth. The remaining work will all be done by hand. If you’d like to help us put the finishing touches on Sageway, reach out—we’d love the extra hands!
We also had enough time to make significant progress on the west side of Mutt Meadow, continuing work that began last fall. The Bighorn National Forest brought in their rock blasters last year to address some particularly problematic rocks, and this week we were able to continue the work with the excavator—moving additional rocks and leveling sections of trail that were off-camber.
There’s still some hand work to do there as well, including moving dirt and cleaning up smaller rocks, but the trail is already taking shape!
And a BIG shout-out to Curt Schwamb, who volunteered well over 40 hours this week as our machine operator. We are incredibly grateful for the time, skill, and hard work he gives to help improve our trails. đź‘Ź
Our trails are built and maintained by a community of people who care deeply about winter recreation in the Bighorn Mountains. Every hour of volunteer time makes a difference—and every bit of summer work helps create better skiing when the snow finally returns. 🌲❄️🎿
