The Subcommittee discussed and voted on a motion that Linda had made at the last NCS meeting. The motion: Snowshoeing is permitted on North Campus winter walking trails and on the outside of groomed ski trails. This policy will be in effect for a trial period of one year and will be reviewed subsequently by the North Campus Subcommittee.” The motion failed 4-1.
Pete made the following motion (seconded by Cynthia): Snowshoeing is allowed on winter walking trails and other trails not designated for skiing.” The motion passed 5-0.

Tim made the following motion: “Winter walking trails should be re-named ‘Winter Walking and Snowshoe Trails’”. Motion passed 5-0.
There was considerable discussion about walking on the CIGO road (south of Yankovich Road). Dan made the following motion (seconded by Pete): “A walking trail should be created near the ski trail west of the CIGO Road, in lieu of walking trail along the CIGO Road. The selected route should minimize impacts or interference with existing ski trails.” Motion passed 5-0.
Luke reviewed the walking trails issues that hadn’t been resolved by the conclusion of the November 1, 2006 meeting. The NCS now has resolved all the major issues that had remained at the end of that previous meeting.
