POSTPONED // Trail School: Intro to Building Features – 5/18

May 18, 2023 @ 5:00 pm 8:30 pm

POSTPONED … STAY TUNED FOR A RESCHEDULE.

Join us Thursday Evening May 18th at Rocky Point for our first feature building clinic.

This is an intro class. No experience necessary, and we welcome all skill levels.

Drew Petersen, Derek Kidd, and Charlie Kohlmeier will be teaching members how to build sustainable features. We will focus on building proper shapes, designing drainage, and evaluating durability.

Our clinic will take to the trail as we repair some features on Machete.

After the clinic, we will session our newly repaired features and enjoy some late dinner.
