COPMOBA has a 34 year, rich legacy of building and maintaining some of the most iconic trails in the World, but the organization has floundered under poor leadership, incompetence and corruption. This is especially true in the birthplace of the organization, the Grand Valley. COPMOBA leadership has been behaving more like the mafia and it is time to fix the problems.
UPDATE: COPMOBA is beginning to address some of the issues highlighted on this website, and by many in the community. Become a member and help STOP COPMAFIA!
Our Trails Deserve Better
The COPMOBA Board of Directors have shown themselves inept at properly running a non-profit trails organization. They have corrupted the efforts they are involved in, and have interfered with the efforts of the Grand Valley Canyons (GVC) Chapter. This interference has prevented the GVC from properly maintaining the trails in the Grand Valley, and prevented the Chapter from developing and managing a valid pipeline of new trail projects that reflect the expanding use in the Grand Valley.
