Western: Cannonsburg Ski Area

[G.R.XC-MTNBKR]

Trail is sandy and getting pretty tore up in spots but still ridable.

I went out today, it was a little wet but no standing water. There are 2 trees down; both are in the 3rd section (one is right at the end of the 3rd section) located @ ~3.1 and ~4.3 miles. A chainsaw will be needed unless you're really strong... or a woodpecker?

I'm tempted to go cut these out, can you get me some more details on where they are? Any reference point would be handy. There are shortcuts I can take to go directly to them if I know exactly where they are, otherwise it's a long walk with a chainsaw.

My best guesses would be here. I could be WAY off. I do remember that one was right before the top of the hill that I think of as a rest stop. The second was right before a connector trail. I could be close, but you're guess is better than mine. I know they were after the house.



Sorry that I couldn't be more precise.

Anyone up for a night ride Wednesday? 8:30 start - I'm flexible on time. Get the riding in while we can before deer season.

Good ride last night John!

One of the trees has been cleared, the other is just before the top of Plite's peak, exactly as shown on the map posted earlier. My chainsaw needs some attention so I'm unable to clear it right now.

Nice ride last night. Sorry about the "shot gunned couple PBR" sound effects Maybe make a Wednesday or Thursday regular night ride?

I can get to it on Saturday.

:?:

Just meant ur map and coordinates seem pretty accurate to me. The trails not very long.

No, it's not, but if you've ever walked the entire trail carrying a chainsaw (I have) it will feel a *beep* of a lot longer. Knowing exactly where a downed tree is located is a huge help as you can take the short cuts directly to the tree instead of hiking entire sections looking for it.

Doug and I did the Trifecta today (Ski area, Pando (only because it was open for race pre-riding), and Luton - approx. 36 miles) and the only downed tree at the ski area is just before the top of Plite's Peak - literally within 10-15 yds of the top.

Agreed, and there are tons of little trails that criss cross all over the place in there. I almost ended up lost back in there once.

Hopefully this little rain will help all those deep sandy spots a little.

I was just out there for the first time this weekend. And on the down hill and free ride corse near the largest drop and the gap jump there is quite a late tree down, Idk how it goes of removing them. If I could take a chainsaw in there but is that against rules Idk, it would be Awsome to have that trail cleened up, me and a few buddies r going out latter this week. Is it alright to take shovels and reshape the lips on some of the jumps? Please reply
