Ski trail improvement work will begin on Thursday, August 25.

The UAF Master Plan Committee recommended this one thousand foot ski trail that will run from the ski hut to the west side of the ASF Antenna.

This new trail will allow for year round vehicle access on the road to the ASF Satellite without interruption to ski activities.

The new trail site will have limited clearing since it is located within previous cleared land including the old campground and other past clearings.

Improvements this season will include clearing of the trail, placement of limited fill dirt, installation of drainage culverts and seeding.

A map of the trail area is posted on the North Campus website; www.uaf.edu/mastplan/northcampus/
