This week the crew worked on rebenching some switchbacks on the Ferrin’s Trail and breaking off the corner of the Ferrin’s Rock. After a hearing more stories of bike crashes there (handlebars are getting wider right?) and having to try and shore up the half bench trail that dips under the rock on a steep […]
This week the crew worked with another great volunteer group from the Beckett YMCA for 2 days on the West Game trail. They built a turnpike and a small reroute at a seasonal runoff between bridge 3 and 4. They also built a causeway to raise the approach to bridge 3 above the creek which […]
This week the crew built a turnpike on the Phillip’s Connector trail and worked with Randy and Cam to buff out sections of the Ridge trail. Their main project this week however was closing and rehabbing 38 short cuts on the Sink or Swim trail. I’ll start with some history, the Sink or Swim trail […]
This week the crew teamed up with a great volunteer group from the Beckett YMCA to build 2 bridges on the History Trail. These are a continuation of the Teton Bridge Project from last year bringing the grant total to 17 bridges built or replaced on the Teton Pass trail system. The dimensional lumber bridges […]
All the front country trails are good to go! After a slow start tot he summer the warm weather has melted back the snow and its a prime time to get out on your favorite trails. This week the crews finished a turnpike in Cache Creek, improved all the drainage ditches around the Crater bridges, […]
Well we made it to the 4th of July with some patches of snow left on the Arrow, Black Canyon, and Lithium trails due to a pretty good snow year and a cool spring. Everything is passable out there with a little bit of walking over the few remaining drifts. Crews cleared the Ridge, Phillip’s […]
Chris P likes to say that the Teton Pass trails are always good to go by July 4th, and it looks like it’ll be right down to the wire this year. Snow drifts remain in shaded north facing areas and ridges and while passable provide some difficulty. The Cache Game area and Munger Mountain are […]
The longest day of the year should be the warmest right? With cool temps the trails are still in great shape and slowly melting out. Most of the south facing trails on Teton Pass are good to go but there are still drifts lingering in the north facing trees. The Teton Freedom Riders are having […]
Tree clearing, bridges, and helicopters what a fun week! The crew cleared Big Rocks and Black Canyon up to Bridge 3 before hitting snow and Cam Eddy and an unknown trail Samaritan cleared Phillip’s Canyon and the Ridge trail from Fish Creek up to the snow line. A few riders reported they were able to […]
Yay more rain! The trails have definitely reached their saturation point since yesterday and should be avoided until it dries out on Sunday. When it is like this I like to stay to the roads like Cache, Game, the BPA road, and even the Summit Road at Snow King. They have much more gravel and […]
