From KZone: Guerilla Trailblazers Arrested

I agree that's it's not going to be easy, it sounds like an awfully big area to keep people out of. Unfortunately for Big Jay skiers you might be right, there could be a push to keep people off of Big Jay all together. If that's the case, the two numbskulls better hope they get jail time to keep the lynch mob from getting them..

Hopefully they'll take a less drastic approach of marking the regeneration area and educating the skiing public of the importance of staying out of the area..

This weekend is the first restoration work day up there. I suspect the main efforts will be on reseeding, posting signs, and getting some ground cover. I don't know if they intend on fencing. It's volunteer labor by mostly backcountry skiers, coordinated by the GMC.

Next Wed is the benefit showing of PW07 in Arlington to raise money for the restoration efforts. Lots of swag has been donated for the raffle, including a Jay Season's Pass. Please come on by, see a great flick, and possibly win some great stuff.

note that they are only going to need 15 people for the work due to the impact of foot traffic

unfortunately I will not be attending because fortunately it is my anniversary

NEK - I believe it is just to keep people off of the cut itself, there is still plenty left to ski

These guys are morons. They couldve just denied till they died and never been caught. How are they going to prove it was them just by their cars being parked there overnight.
