LakeGeezer & Lucky:
The closed trails in question are not condusive to either cross country skiing or snow shoeing. They are vertical and only the most fit olympic athletes could get up and down them on snow shoes or cross country skis. And now that I think of it, probably not even olympic athletes could use snow shoes or cross country skis on those trails, unless of course they were suicidal. Maybe the trails could be used by winter hikers. In any event, the people at the trust are simply sneaky jerks that think they know what is best for everyone. Keeping one trail open to non-motorized activity would be plenty. I bet there would only be a handful of users each day, if that.
