City trails will enjoy nicer paths thanks to a new trail crew organized through Mountain Ti ails Foundation. The four-person "pathology crew" began their trail work in May and will continue through the end of September. The idea, according to Mountain Trails hoard member Tim Henney. is to preserve as well as clean up the mountain trails. "They pay attention to erosion fall lines because they get pretty beat up," he said. In addition, the three male, one ferule group is working to hand rake rocks out, re-route pour turns, clear dead fall and post appropriate signage. Henney said the need and demand for the work has existed longer than Mountain Trails' ability to fund it. "It's neat because Mountain Trails Foundation finally has the funding fund-ing to step up to the plate and hire people to do this." The four full time crew members work seven days a week with staggered stag-gered shifts in order to have a presence pres-ence in the mountains at all times. Before beginning the labor, the group attended a clinic hosted by the International Mountain Biking Association, which provided the basic know ledge on trail maintenance. Mountain Trails Foundation executive execu-tive director Troy Duffin said the four-person four-person crew, comprised of ski patrollers and instructors, is just the right number. "Four I think is a good number to keep it so they can work in sets of two," he said. "They're working work-ing well together and keeping the trails clean at a good pace." So far. the project has included areas in Lost Prospector. Hidden Hollow, Deer Crest and Round Valley, though they "also do some small fill in projects around the city," Duffin added. For this, the first summer of the project, the focus has remained on the Park City area. But since Mountain Trails Foundation jurisdiction jurisdic-tion extends to surrounding areas, the work could eventually be expanded. "The crew could venture out throughout through-out Summit County, but right now w ere just focusing from the inside out," said Henney who characterized the benefit as "spectacular." "It's one of the most important things we've (Mountain Trails Foundation) ever done," he added. In order to guarantee the longevity of the project, Duffin has also lined up half a dozed local sponsors from the Park City area to pitch in to pay the crew. "The hope is to have such success suc-cess with what they do that we'll have tangible ev idence so we can go out and get the money to bring them back next summer," Henney concluded.
