South Star Spring

If there are any patches of snow left here and there in the forest, they are few and far between. We are aware that there is some clean up required on the trails and we have scheduled that for June 19th at 10. We meet at the main gate and divide into work teams to get as much as possible done. The priority is always to make sure all the trails are cleared for hiking, biking and horse back riding. We hope to see lots of volunteers on our Saturday Clean Up so we can also tackle a kiosk installation and some heavier work. Most people are aware by now that we did not win the EKCU grant and therefore cannot buy the full range of ski trail grooming equipment we had hoped for. Dave Basaraba remains on the hunt for funds though so stay tuned. The board remains committed to as much maintenance as possible of the ski trails, which have proven to be very popular during good snow years. For now, spring has returned to South Star so get out there and enjoy the spring flowers and blue skies. Don't forget your bear spray and remember to use caution, especially when biking. Spring winds fall many trees and certain trails (Peavine) are hazardous and will remain so until June 19th when they are cleared. Happy Trails to all!!
