Talk:Brew Hut Trail Upgrade

Some Questions that need to be answered by consensus

What sort of trail do we want

• Wide or narrow?
• Should we clear more than the minimum number of trees for better skiing?
• Should it be gently graded or steep?
• Should steep sections have switchbacks?
• Should it be built for summer use, or only for skiing & showshoeing?
• Do we want to put up a big sign at the trailhead?

What is to be done about marking a route from Brew Lake to the hut

• Should this route be marked at all?
• Stone Carins are good in summer, but useless in winter

What do we do about access from the existing Trails

• Should they be fixed up, maintained in their current condition or abandonned?
• Should the Brandywine route be upgraded to a proper trail for the section that is presently a bushwack. If this is done, will people actually use it?

What is the best way to access the Brew Hut during construction?

Western Forest Products has offered us a key to the gate on their road for the construction of the hut. However, it's hard to say if this access route would be faster than coming up from Brandywine.
