Current logging operations north of Flagstaff are expected to experience minor delays in the face of this week’s storm, operators report.
The Dry Lake Hills and Little Springs projects commenced in January with the intent of thinning over 800 acres to help protect against catastrophic wildfire. With anticipated snow accumulation ranging from 10 to 16 inches in the Flagstaff area through Wednesday, daily progress could slow by 50%, said Bryan Zebrowski, regional operations manager for Markit Forestry Management, the company currently executing the Dry Lake Hills contract.

Entrants constructed sleds from old coolers in order to participate officially, and all funds raised were donated to the Flagstaff Family Food Center.
