Yes too erosion as its an on going part of the puzzle, this is why I spend my summers in Rocky areas that allow us to fix trails with ease since the rocks are close by too fill in spots.

There are trails that will need repairs in a few areas, so it's part of our rides on each outing.

Put in 1 or 2 hours of time fixing /maintance that allows us to enjoy the others that are good to ride,,, kinda like a win win as its our train of thought to assist in activists that benefit all of us.

Exactly, spending a bit of time each trip makes a big diffene

Thanks for helping

Actually, it is not different, may be it is in your sledding area, but not ours. The trails have to stand up year round, summer and winter, so a quality build is top of mind. Therefore, a known quality standard is followed. Be that from N.O.H.V.A.C., U.S. Forest Service, Alberta Parks, or elsewhere, there is a minimum standard all good trails are built to here, and for us that is the starting point. Safety is the paramount concern on our trails, no compromises. After that, enjoyment, sights, distance, and unique features all come into play.

The ground is frozen when you sled, so it's a little different

Well I just meant that there won't be hundreds of quads and SxS's bogging up and down the trails after a big rain fall like out west of Caroline ext.

And when you ride a sled the ground is frozen, so you don't disturb the ground the same way you do out "muddin"


But I just ride the trails, I don't build them. So good work & keep doing your thing.

Heading out for a ride tomorrow.

Clean up some trails while we are out.

Hopefully not picking up trash along the trail.
