Area near Red Mountain collapses

Teck Trail Operations is warning people that the closed off area above Rossland is very dangerous, as a recent collapse has shown. Yesterday, Teck sent out

a release reminding hikers and bikers not to go into the area. The area of land on the southern slope of Red Mountain was closed in 2006 due to ground instability, associated with historical mine workings. Catherine Adair, communi-
cations at Teck Trail said that the area had undergone a recent collapse in the closed area on the back of Red Mountain Adair said that the collapsing historical mine workings resulted in a new opening in the now closed off part of Larry’s Loop trail, posing a potential safety hazard.
“The closed area has been clearly marked with gates, fencing and signage, and we ask for public cooperation in respecting these signs,� she said. “The installation of a permanent perimeter fence of the closed area will take place later this spring.� The area is an important part
of Rossland and Teck says that they recognize the value that the trail system offers to the community, and as such allows non-motorized, recreational use of designated, authorized trails on many of their other lands, in partnership with the Kootenay Columbia Trails Society.
