ATAP Winter Program
Each winter brings grooming challenges. We try and maintain 4+/- miles of trail that cater to classic, skate, fat bike and snowshoe users. Our trail system starts at the end of County Rd 100 on the Palisade lakebed. The Lakebed trails are know for being dog friendly, SCOOP YOUR POOP!, and very casual. If you're looking for manicured cord and a place to sport your spandex, our trails probably aren't for you. Our trail crew are all volunteers and donate their time, money and muscle to keep these trails going. When you see them out maintaining the trails give a smile and wave. Also when possible, we groom with our single track roller along the Snake River and Greys River, then up the Greys to Mill Creek/ Little Jenny Lake.
Grooming Expenses 20/21-23/24 Seasons:
Over the past 4 seasons a total of $24,500.00 has been received by ATaP through the generous support of the Alpine Community Fund and a total of $27,309.09 has been paid to Bushong specifically for grooming services. Funding requests and Bushong invoices for the past four seasons are attached. Of course this represents only a portion of the total resources expended with setting and maintaining the winter trail systems in the Alpine area and we thank everyone who has and continues to support ATaP.

For the upcoming season we were awarded funding through the Alpine Travel and Tourism Board and have again secured Bushong for grooming the lakebed trails two times a week! We look forward to seeing you all out this winter and anticipate beginning grooming as soon as conditions allow. which by history has been in January.
