Land Survey:
As part of the application process, the Club completed a ground-based survey of the forest in the area we are applying for to determine forest type, forest composition, and tree ages. The survey found the area is composed of mixed conifer and deciduous trees. Many of the conifers were left behind when the area was last harvested and are now quite large. Any future trail development would consider such trees in proposed routes, also take advantage of existing open areas (old skid trails and areas of sparse vegetation growth, including regeneration) and minimize disturbance to ecological resources in the area.
The survey also determined the area is hilly, which means approximately half of the ~84 hectares is not suitable for ski trails and will remain untouched by any future development.
(See map below, turquoise areas considered inaccessible).
