Building trails, skills, and community... one ride at a time! 🚵♀️
This summer, Yukon University partnered with Carcross/Tagish First Nation, Carcross Tagish Limited Partnership, Videa, and Icycle Sport to offer another season of the Single Track to Success youth mountain bike trail crew program in Carcross.
Five C/TFN youth spent ten weeks working full-time on the Montana Mountain trails, building ramps, picnic areas, and a new phase of the bike jump park, all while gaining hands-on experience in outdoor leadership, trail maintenance, and carpentry.
They worked under the guidance of Crew Leader Dominic Johns (CTFN), assistant Crew Leader Justin Smarch (CAFN), and Crew Supervisor Tyler Coghill (YukonUCarcross Campus).
The trail crew from Whitehorse came out for a week to work with our crew to experience some different types of trail work.
With the support of Videa’s grant, the crew built new wooden features, learned skid steer operation, and ended every week with a ride to test what they built.
Another successful summer on the trails!
