I heard that the f's has contractors that are going to work on moody/crystal this month along with Kelly flats and possibly seven mile this month. Not sure when they expect to have them open though

So if all the trails that need repairs are not worked on or repaired by the end of this season will they still be closed next year?
who knows. i passed by kelly flats and sevenmile today. nothing done at kelly flats yet but apparently they haven't bid that one out yet. the entrance to sevenmile has been graded though and they are supposed to be done in a few days so maybe it will open up soon.
Well if they aren't working on certain trails this year and they won't open up next year could people volunteer to help with the trail reconstruction? It seems like Kelly Flats and Sevenmile are on the top of the popularity scale for the area yet nothing seems to have been done that I am aware.
Sevenmile reopened today.
Moody is supposed to be the next to reopen.

SWEETNESS!
from what i have heard sevenmile was graded to past the first watercrossing. with the crossings being a little deeper than before the flood. apparently the fs told the local club that they aren't going to like what was done to moody though so i'm guessing its going to be pretty flat like storm mtn is now. also the contract has been let for repairs to kelly flats but no start or finish date has been set yet
^^^that sucks. It will wash out again though. Moody just opened today, I hope that they didn't do anything to those. There are parts that are not "fixable" but I still don't want them messing with stuff so much.
So Moody and Crystal are open? Or just Moody?

Moody's listed as open (the list was recently updated). Crystal closed.
I will be running moody Monday morning if anybody wants to tag along plan is to meet at the trailhead at 8
Gonna get moody done here soon too! Kinda wanna just cruise sevenmile to see what it looks like now.
ran sevenmile on the dirtbike saturday and the first mile or so is pretty smooth now. the rest of it has been graded some but its still rocky. nothing hard just sections of softball sized rocks.the creek wasn't running down the trail like it used to. not sure if that was from the work done or just because the creek was so low as most of the crossings were only a couple inches deep. ran the whole trail from gate to gate in 25 mins or so on the bike. moody has really been graded. from the trail head up to the spur leading to the quarry all of the rock climbs are gone. its mostly just smooth dirt with some big water bar humps now and then. after the quarry spur not much was done to the trail other than a couple small water bars but no serious grading like the lower section
Kelly Flats is now open.
I drove up to Masonville over the weekend in my Jeep, expecting to "go explore". When I got to the intersection, there was the ever visible Road Closed sign (open to local traffic). Since I did not want to create any problems, I turned around. If I had know that I could have gone on, I would have.
Cr27 which is the road that goes from masonville past buckhorn rd to stove prairie is closed in the narrows due to brig washed out by the floods. It is being rebuilt and scheduled to reopen dec 9.
