With the removal of the Summit Lift, summer construction projects have begun at Snow King Resort. Due to safety concerns surrounding construction, Snow King is recommending that hikers seek alternative trails for recreation this summer to minimize traffic on the mountain. A press release from Snow King said that construction work will include tree felling, road construction, trenching and excavation, which have the potential to cause dangerous rockfall on hiking trails. Contractors will take a number of precautions to mitigate potential rockfall, including temporarily closing trails, installing trenches and fencing, and posting spotters to alert trail users when necessary. Those who plan to use the Snow King trails should remain alert to their surroundings. Trail users should stay out of fenced or signed construction areas, stay off closed trails, observe trail signage and avoid using earbuds to better hear potential warnings.
