The last stream crossing has culverts replaced across it now. Four out of five for 2008/09 ski season of the Pincushion trail bridges /culverts have been rebuilt. We will get the last one next year; funding is in place through the USFS and we still have the old Kimball Bridge to place somewhere if needed. The trails are all cleared and frozen over now with a few ice flows out there too, so be careful hiking. Lows have been single digits the past few nights! We're set to ski once we get 8-10 inches of snow now!
