If a tree falls in the forest.....

 There is an old riddle that goes something like this: if a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I think it does, but regardless of the answer to that question, a tree that falls on a ski trail definitely makes a mess, and creates a barrier that needs to be removed.

That's what I did this morning, clearing a fallen dead ash tree from the boardwalk on the Hockleycrest trail. It's all part of the process of getting ready for ski season.
