🤓 FTA Educational Series - THE TRAIL LINE WHY

🤓 FTA Educational Series - THE TRAIL LINE

WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Above and beyond recording your time, (we love you Strava riders), to the actual trail rating, the main reason FTA would love your collaboration to keep shortcuts closed, is to make sure we keep our riding footprint to its minimum and enable habitat restoration.

Furthermore, respecting the trail line is also for us respecting our agreement with the landowner and the work of our crew.

KEEP SHORTCUTS CLOSED
When you see shortcuts being closed like one shown above on Phat B, please respect the closure, leave the debris there and ride the trail line. It is closed for good reason, and our collective collaboration goes a long way in preventing further habitat destruction outside the provided trail.

DON’T ALTER THE TRAIL
Whether you have a love/hate relationship with a root or rock, or an entire tree or trail, the trail network is not to be altered by anyone, other than authorized trail workers. While removing a root or rock may seem like a small change to you, to others, it is a clear lack of respect for the trail. This recent, rogue, tree removal from Uprooted, show above, is a prime example of what not to do.

In short, please do not modify or manipulate any elements of a trail from its designed, original state.

WHY?
The FTA crew is working hard to build and maintain great trails, to the Whistler standards. Changing the nature of the trail by widening or braiding, modifying or manipulating, removes the fun, and the challenge. Take on the Challenge. Ride the Line!

QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS?
If there is a trail or feature on a trail that you think could be changed for the benefit of the network, please get in touch by emailing the Trail Manager at trails@fernietrailsalliance.com or by using the Online Trail Work Application form on our website, via the link below.

PSA number two of the day: Wildfires and what we can ALL do to help mitigate risk.
-
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Following suit with @islandlakelodge and @ferniealpineresort due to the extreme fire hazard upon us, our trail crew is no longer using chain or brush saws in the forest 🌳
-
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Avoid resting your bike in long grass, and bike early in the morning when the ground is moist 💦

Thanks, all ❤️

AN IMPORTANT RE-POST FROM @ferniesar ❤️

“Fernie SAR was called out for back to back rescues yesterday afternoon. The first involved a hiker who became lost high above Island Lake Lodge and ended up on a cliff face. A lengthy technical rope rescue was needed to extricate him, and he was safely rescued with help from Island Lake staff.
-
The second involved a woman with a serious leg injury on the Moccasin Trail on Mt Fernie. She was eventually longlined and delivered to BCEHS.
-
We were fortunate to obtain the support of both Ascent Helicopters and Bighorn Helicopters.
-
📣 We would like to draw people's attention to the fact that almost every helicopter in the province is currently fighting fires. There is no guarantee we can pull them off of fire duty, and if we do it means they are no longer fighting fires. In all cases this means both our response times, and our response options are affected.”
-
Such an important message during these challenging times. Thanks FSAR for everything you do 💯
