I have a 4WD van that will comfortably seat 6. 

Since the Table Mtn fire in 2012 -- fire damaged trees have weakened and fallen -- blocking many of the ski trails in the Blewett Pass / Tronsen Basin area.    Trail work may include removing logs cut by certified chainsaw operators,   branch trimming using hand saws or loppers,  repairing bridges, re-installing "Blue Diamond" trailmarkers and other tasks as needed.

Map of the ski trails in the Blewett Pass area -- we will be working in the Tronsen Basin Non-Motorized area.
