Trailbuilding day
The Town Hill Center Trail Crew meets once a week, every Monday, to prepare for the upcoming 2024 season.
In spring, the agenda includes general maintenance work on the Bike Park, renovations of old tracks, improvements, and also the construction of entirely new lines. Towards late spring and early summer, the focus shifts to finishing work on the trails of the slopes. The agenda for the next build day will be updated on this page the week before the build day.
The weekly build days are a "Dig 'n Ride" style event, meaning after the build, the lifts are set in motion, and we ride the park.
This is an open invitation for everyone to become a part of this awesome group! In the building days, you'll get great riding buddies, opportunities for personal growth, and a chance to influence trails construction, as the final specifications for trails are often decided on-site during the building phase.
You don't need your own tools or prior experience in trailbuilding to participate in the build days. Town Hill Center provides refreshments for volunteers. Everyone is welcome regardless of age or gender!
Come on in to help build a better Bike Park!
