Todd ‘Digger’ Fiander has spent most of his life in the woods. The legendary North Shore trailbuilder started etching lines into the dirt on Mount Fromme in the early 1980s, and hasn’t stopped since. Even now, at 60 years old with two recently replaced knees, he’s on the mountain far more often than he’s not. In fact, when I asked Rocky Mountain’s Stephen Matthews how to reach Digger, he told me: “The best way to get ahold of him is to just ride up Mount Fromme, look for his truck, and drop in.”
“I’m digging probably six to seven days a week,” Digger says when I reach him on the phone (sadly for me, not on the trail). “Every day. Every day I’m on the mountain. If I’m not working on the mountain, I’ll be up there riding or hiking around on it.”
