Trails & Dead Ox Trailblazers 

​ 







Trails are what we are all about - advocating, riding, walking, skiing, maintaining, protecting, building and grooming them. 

2016-2017
Winter Grooming:
​
After a snowfall you will see Dead Ox Trailblazers' Volunteers out grooming cross country ski & fat biking trails in RMNP & other areas.
​
Dead Ox Trailblazers are members of the Riding Mountain Trail Stewards Association. This is the fifth season that the Riding Mountain Trail Stewards Association will be active in maintaining the precious trail resource system that exists within the National Park during the winter season. We are very excited and encouraged by the efforts that the local park management and staff have exercised since 2012 in both supporting our activities and trying to create the business case within their own organization that will allow winter services to return on a full time basis to RMNP.
We are also very thankful and appreciative to all of our partners, ski enthusiasts and local activists groups that have assisted us over the years.
