For the 2000-10 season TNA faces a tremendous challenge to maintain the quality and quantity of our trail system. Simply put, the majority of our funding comes from grants further supported by generous donations and membership fees to TNA and those funds are being greatly reduced this season.
As a result, TNA will be forced to prioritize our trail areas and some may be temporarily lost. At this point we will focus our efforts as follows: 1st priority will be to maintain the valley floor at the level of quality we have all come to expect; 2nd priority will be to continue with the Priest Lake loops; and the 3rd priority will be Trout Lake. If funds are available we will do our best to maintain all three, but if not we will be forced into the scenario outlined above.
What can you do? Become a member of TNA, encourage others to do so as well. Make a donation to TNA, which will be used to directly fund the trails. Keep Town Council informed of your support for cross country skiing in and around Telluride.
