Proposed Trails at Frost Valley

Hello all,

Frost Valley YMCA, located near Claryville, is entertaining the idea of having mtb trails built on their land. Frost Valley currently has around 30 miles of hiking trails located throughout their 6,000 acres. The majority of this is not suitable for mountain biking. Although this project is still very early in the process, I wanted to gauge the level of interest from the mountain bikers in the surrounding area. Particularly since in order for this to happen it would require a lot of outside assistance (ie. you guys!). Frost Valley does not have the manpower to give to build new trails, especially sustainable mtb trails.

So, I guess I would like to hear from everyone if they would be interested in having mtb trails at Frost Valley. Is it a location that people would go to? And especially is it a project that the Fats in the Cats would be willing to assist with? Thanks for your thoughts!

Frost Valley has the potential for awesome mtb trails. If we build them, we will ride them...I'll pitch in however I can!

As my former camp and employer, I would definitely be up to it. Put me down as interested Smile

Thanks LeLan, sounds like a great opportunity. If a group such as Fats puts in sweat equity to build and maintain trails, will Frost Valley ensure mtb access by us or the public?

Is there any plans for this subject to be discussed at the next meeting(the 14th)?

I'm sorry I couldn't make an appearance at the meeting on the 14th. I fear there wouldn't have been much to discuss anyways. Frost Valley has yet to give me confirmation of final approval. They are checking on things like insurance and other red tape issues. I am still optimistic that these things will be worked out. Once that has been done I would like to then make an appearance at the next meeting. There are many things that I would like expert opinion on. (That's where you guys come in!). And of course, being that Frost Valley is private land we need to discuss land usage. I see the next meeting is Nov. 11th. Could we tentatively plan for me to come and discuss these issues? By then I should have a good idea of where things are with this project. Thanks again!
