He has had a lot of great influence on trail work. While it has been noted in his resume on the work he did regarding the Kincaid Park biathlon stadium and range, it should be noted that he played a role in the development of Kincaid Park going back to the 70's when the area was first surplused by the Army. Those early trail designs were incorporated into what are now the homologated 5 and 7.5 k courses which took into account trail design from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and '00's. It just so happens that these initial trails had the character as technical, varied, and fun courses to ski which meet the demands of today's competitions. In addition, they get a lot of use from the general public in all seassons. Of course, I am rather biased because of the hours spent crunching numbers, but I have the Kincaid Park "pioneers" to thank for that. Thanks again, John. Matthew T.
