New Territory
One of the biggest developments for our 2020/21 season has come about through our continuing partnership with the United States Forest Service.
The
Seward Ranger District's vision to improve recreation resources in the
area has expanded the areas our volunteer crew can groom snow trails for non-motorized recreation to include an area near the Devils Creek Trailhead. This
area was the site of a 2017 timber sale managed by the USFS that also
provided significant amounts of cut and decked firewood to the
community.
It
affords some great views, good sun exposure during our short days, and
now, the opportunity to lay some corduroy down to create some snow
trails.
We
will continue to work the USFS as we determine which routes work best
but for now we are following a loop many locals have been skiing since
2017.
A big thanks to the Cooper Landing Senior Citizens Corporation
for the grant this year which allowed us to purchase a second
roller/compactor for the Cooper Landing Community Club's Trails
Committee. This roller/compactor will be used here and in the
Quartz/Crescent Creek area to help capture any freshies that fall and
keep building our base.
A big thanks to Erik and Alaska Rivers Company for spending the last couple days prepping and packing this inaugural loop.
So get out there and enjoy our shared resource on our public lands!
