Massanutten western slopes

Design and construction of Gravity Monkey. Built Quarantine, Red White & Blue, Happy Hour, Creekside, and the bottom 2 miles of Puzzler trail. General maintenance system-wide and resurfacing of the Skills Kitchen.

Growing up volunteering and riding these "old school", hand built, singletrack and roadbed conversion trails, gave awareness to trail tendencies in a large network. Being a part of the Western Slopes’ trail system's transition to including machine-built trail as a prior user and volunteer gave insight to:

  • Trails and intersections with potential for high traffic

  • The user/builder dynamic in and out of the field

  • Prompt, heavy use of newly opened trails

  • Overall safety

  • Listening to trail users, incorporating what they like or want to see

  • Respecting native plant habitats
