Awesome! you are the best at promoting on another forum someone told a women’s group that theirs a 3 mile hike and it’s going to be strenuous wtf? without mentioning chairlift ride and it made it sound a lot more challenging then it’s going to be,

For the woods clearing day at Platty, I will have a batch of tree pruning style sawzall blades, I have a handle they attach to that folds in half to carry, I can get extra handles & blades for anyone who can use one, pictures are samples, the blades are sharp as hell they will cut you just from looking at them ?

Nice. That should work really well. The folding saw and the loppers are generally most useful

There's a no chainsaw rule. Not sure about power tools. Maybe to stick with Brownski's ^^ quiver.

Someone sent me a link > I saw that post on SkiDiva. Are you are regular there?

I'll take the fall for the "3 miles." I was something we added to the post several years ago just to make sure everyone understood there was hiking involved. I sincerely doubt it's three miles but whatever it is, it's steep. We're trying to manage expectations.

Here's the paragraph from the post in question:

To be clear, the workday will be work. We’ll hike approximately 3 miles during the course of the day. Trees will be cut and dragged. Participants should be ready to hike with a backpack containing 2 liters of water, a few snacks like PB+Js and Clif Bars, and a pair of work gloves.

It's still beyond me why you feel the need to bring your dissatisfaction with other forums here. I know you can't join SkiDiva, but if you have an in issue that you really can't let go, maybe send Wendy an email.

Screw that!

Laz is pretty chill with not worrying about lawyers and litigation. In this case, a mountain employee carries a chain saw and if something needs to be cut, he does it. It's probably just a few trees a year, so a single saw is probably fine.

They reached out with something like an apology. Be interesting to see if it goes anywhere.

I haven’t seen them cut down too many standing trees. The chainsaws get used on deadfall.
