Throne Traverse Construction Project

For those of us who endured the unpleasantness of the rock strewn p-tex necessitating traverse to the South Back recently and in the past, relief  may be coming soon.

The Forest Service approved the Throne Traverse Construction Project on September 14, 2009 to build an 8 foot wide groomable traverse off the top of the high campbell.

That is honestly terrible,terrible news.
Never did trust the Forest Service.
I am depressed by this news. :'( :'(
I like the present traverse, rocks and all. It keeps the punters at bay.
Anyone want to form a comittee to fight this to the bitter end.

this sucks. so what if a little p-tex is gone. its cheap fixes and really easy to fix yourself. This will ruin that bowl and southback like the northway chair did to northback. I would be down to fight this, not sure I would be much help though.

Now the next question.... How are they going to get a groomer up there?

"This traverse will be machine groomed by a small snow cat housed at the top of the lift." Page 2 of Decision Memo

It should be the ski tuning shops that should get together to fight this.
There will be a huge reduction in core shots and bust edges......it will put ski technicians out on the streets.
There's gonna be ski technicians hanging around bus stops  whispering " hey buddy, want your edges ground."

Hamburger is going to get tracked out in 25 minuted instead of an hour!
I've been warning you about these government agencies but Noooo, he's just a conspiracy nut!

On the other hand...... perhaps we can tell the NPS that the  new groomed track will promote travel into the SB which passes through MRNP land..... We can get the NPS fighting with the Forest Service. Win/win.!
