NU Launches a Blog!

Hello everyone,

I attended the most excellent Winter Wildlands Advocacy workshop this weekend. Kendall Card from backcountry.com inspired me to use a blog to inform our members of the trail conditions for the 2006-07 ski season.

This will be a learning experience and any suggestions or help will be appreciated.

The first and foremost goal will be to supply anyone interested with up to the minute trail conditions, primarily concerning NU's grooming effort. I envision this sight growing to other aspects of NU.

But as start the focus will be grooming and trails.

You may ask...it's only Oct 23rd, for crying out loud, what's new? Well, on a reconnaissance mission at around lunch time today, 2 of our special agents (members) disguised as cyclist ventured up Smithfield Canyon. They were passed by a Forest Service truck that stopped at the cattle guard a couple hundred meters downstream of the campground. (We had previously noticed that a brand new heavy duty gate had recently been installed at this location). The pleasant forest service personnel informed us that they were erecting a sign that says, "This gate will be closed on November 14, 2006." This will insure nice ski conditions in Smithfield Canyon, free of tracks caused by vehicles. It is our understanding that Scott Datwyler and Jack Greene have been working this issue for sometime. So let them know you appreciate the effort.

Well it’s time to post.
