Crews still removing snow covering bike trails ahead of summer season via KSLcom
Deer Valley Resort's summer season starts Friday, June 23. All three summer chairlifts, lower Bald Eagle Mountain trails and most of the trails on Bald Mountain will open then. The resort plans to open more trails as the snow melts and conditions for riding improve.Deer Valley Mountain Biking manager Chris Erkkila said his team is still dealing with leftovers from winter.
"There's the memories that come back from the wintertime of how good the winter was," he said. "Then you start to grasp the fact that some of this snow is on our bike trails and we've got to dig it out, and that's going to take some time! It's going to take a lot of effort.""I don't know if I've ever seen snow depth that deep in these spots," Erkkila said.
Crews used shovels and their arms to remove the packed-in snow, then they'll test them to make sure they're ready for riding. "There's always a lot of what we call blowdown, which is trees that have fallen onto the trails all year long," Erkkila said. "This year with so much snow weight, we've seen a lot of trees that are just bowed over.""They're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, but we're going to be dealing with snow for a little bit longer," Erkkila said.
