SNOWBIRD RESORT

This will be very cool. Looking forward to it for sure. Hopefully it can go a little ways toward replacing the trail that was torn out of LCC a few years back. I was lucky enough to ride the old trail that ran from the base of Snowbird all the way down to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon a couple of times before the Forest Service fired up their chainsaws. That thing was a masterpiece. It's a damn shame that a compromise couldn't be worked out to keep most of the trail intact and reroute around some "sensitive" areas.

. It is a “two-way flow trail,” meaning it’s climbable from the bottom to the top.

However, Communications Manager Emily Moench said climbing to the top would be difficult, and recommends taking the tram.

Just make it a one way trail for hells sake!

It will be nice to have the option to pedal up rather than being forced to take the tram though. It sounds like the pending DH trail will certainly only be one way traffic. It would be even nicer if they make the flow trail one-way and add a XC trail that is climbable as well. Baby steps.....
