Change of focus for GPS Event


With the sudden appearance of winter, we would like to change the focus of the day from a GPS adventure to a trail preparation day.  With the colder conditions, all keen enthuisiasts are invited to come out for a snowshoe and trail clean up session to get the ski season off to a good start.  
 
Same time and place as indicated in the previous e-mail:
When: Sunday, November 21, 2010
Time: 10am 1pm Trail maintenance
Where:  Parking lot at the end of 38th Ave South (or see South Star for directions) 
 
The recent snow is bound to have revealed the 'leaners' on the trail that need to be dealt with and packing out the base at this point in the season will go along way to setting up good skiing conditions for the rest of the season.  Bring your pruners, swede saws and hatchets and we'll get the trails in top shape.
 
We'd like to thank John Przeczek for sharing his GPS files with us that will help us produce a great ski orienteering map for an event later in the season.  There are a couple of additional trails that still need to be covered, if folks are keen to assist on that, although I think we'll have it covered.
