4.1. PRSR 09-06-1989 ELK RIVER CROSS COUNTRY SKI TRAIL SYSTEM PROPOSAL
Thank you for the hard work you have done to develop the
City Ski Trail System and your attempt to acquire the Old
Railroad Tracks! !
Thie year the Elk River High School Ski Team and other
vol(inteers would like to help the city improve the Ski Trail
Systen. The improvements would benefit both the general
publi-c and the Elk River Ski Team.
In order to make improvements we would like the city of Elk
River to approve the following goals.
GOALS:
NOTE:-,The Elk River Ski Team and Volunteers would be
responsible for meeting these goals.
Expand the trail system on private land owned by the
Golfurse, William Brady and Ridgewood Homeowners. This
would ,. ome in the form of 1 .2 miles of Moderate Trails and
.3 miles of Difficult Trails.
• NOTE: Private landowners allowing a PUBLIC TRAIL to
cross their land are not liable for accidents, related to
the public trail , occuring on their land. This law is
specifically explained in Minnesota State Statute 87.01
through 87.03. (See Attached Form)
2. Clearly mark all trails by difficulty and provide
trail maps at the Golf Course Entrance.
le
3. Assist the City of Elk River in grooming and trail
maintenance.
** OPTIONAL **
SUGGESTED CITY GOAL:
'' 1 . Purchase a grooming device designed for Freestyle
Skiing (Skating) . (This may be a long term goal of the
city . ) '
COST TO THE CITY OF ELK RIVER:
1 . Cost Increase: A. Fuel for groomer.
• * Optional *
B. New grooming device.
}
2. General Cost : A. Insurance (The same as last year?)
B. Equipment Maintenance
3. Cost Decrease: A. Money spent by the city to pay
employees for trail maintenance.
BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF ELK RIVER:
1 . The city would obtain an additional 1 .5 miles of ski
trails which would be very scenic and found primarily in the
woods. (Trails in the woods do not experience as drastic of
a temperature change as those trails found in the open. This
would allow these trails to maintain more uniform snow
conditions.
2. Provide a better trail system for all skiers. With
the specified goals the city would have a trail system
consisting of: 67% Easy Trails
28% Moderate Trails . •
5% Difficult Trails
3. Improved trail conditions and safety through the
following activities.
A. Experienced skiers would be skiing the trail
approximately 5 days a week. These skiers would remove
dangerous obstacles and close trails when necessary.
(Compared to average skiers an experience skier is
significantly less likely to be injured when coming upon a
dangerous condition. )
B. Provide trial maintenance throughout the ski
season. In the past the Elk River High School Ski Team has
provided approximately 150 hours of trail maintenance
annually.
C. Clearly designating dangers and trail
difficulty on maps and signs.
4. The Elk River High School Ski Team promotes skiing
in Elk River and encourages others to enjoy our City Ski
Trail System! !
