    Nice work! I rode that section Saturday morning and was surprised at how eroded it had become. That definitely won't be a problem in the future.

    Don't know if you guys got it but there was a tree down on the final climb out of LT Sat. morning.

    ya, saw that tree too. with my extremely limited (read: zero) experience with a chainsaw I decided it would be best, and safer, to let someone else tackle it. it'll be removed this week.

    I believe it was Russ that mentioned in another thread that FORC has a new policy regarding the usage of chainsaws in the trail systems. Can someone elaborate on that and maybe make it a sticky thread or something for future reference?

    We recently purchased chaps and other chainsaw specific safety gear to protect saw operators and minimize our insurance liability. Given that, anyone operating a saw will need to be wearing this gear and have a good understanding of the safety procedures of using the tool. In the coming months, we are going to put together a chainsaw safety course and unless someone has attended this course or has other chainsaw specific training they will not be authorized to operate a chainsaw for trail work purposes.
