However, it is bush trails that does not displace nature, but rater attempt to incorporate it. Most trails are routed around deadfall or cleared to make skiing more convenient. A few spots do involve ducking under limbs and stepping over fallen trees. Nature put them there and we try to leave them there, as much as possible.
