Volunteers sought for Saturday clean-up at Sleeping Giant

Volunteers are being asked to come and help tidy up the Sleeping Giant Ski Area on Saturday.

The clean-up effort is set to run from 9 a.m. to noon at Sleeping Giant Day Lodge (348 North Fork Highway).

Organizers say volunteers should bring a water bottle, sun screen, bear spray, work gloves and a rain jacket. Long pants and good shoes (ideally work boots) are suggested and coats could be needed.

Lunch will be provided and volunteers will get a sneak peek at the new zip line now under construction. (You can see a test run of one of the zip lines in the video below.)

More testing on the Zip Line by Casey Hill (aka: Crash Test Dummy) on Zip # 2. This goes across to the side of Bobby's Headwall. These tests are run to check on the stopping distance and line tension. #zipsg #skisg
