The decision was made due to deteriorating trail conditions and concerns for the safety of mushers and their canine companions.

Managing forests for specific outcomes almost always yields greater satisfaction, and a wider range of benefits, than doing nothing. Not managing is sorta like letting children do whatever they want, whenever they want, without any guidance. Sure, they’ll growup, probably. But they’re likely to be monsters!
