Winter is Coming, Let’s Get Grooming!
We need $25,000 in donations for winter trail grooming!
With the recent cold snap and snow, our thoughts are turning to winter trail grooming. This winter, cross country ski trail grooming will be done far more efficiently because we are acquiring a super new piece of equipment called a Snow Rabbit. At $180,000, this is a big ticket item for us. It is not quite fully funded; we need your donations to get us to the finish line.
We have a $25,000 target for winter grooming operations for the ski trails and for the grooming that benefits fat bikers, trail runners and winter hikers using the all-season trails.
It has been a very busy summer for the regular trail crews and volunteers out at West Bragg. We used funds from a capital grant to provide for the installation of three new ski bridges. The bridges will make these areas safer for XC skiers and also easier to machine groom. Other XC ski trails were improved with work done on drainage, tread repair and on brush clearing. Similarly, a whole lot of work has been completed on the all-season trails. Of particular note is the progress made on rebuilding and upgrading Tom Snow North from Moose Loop and also in putting finishing touches on the new Kestrel all season trail.
Please step up and provide a contribution to help us groom and maintain the trails to the conditions that you have come to expect. The GBCTA is a registered Canadian charity. You will receive a charitable income tax receipt for donations over $20 provided you supply us with your name, mailing address and email address.
