No it's not closed, and a groomer and plow was paid and the work never done. Complained to local Forest service and nothing, filed complaints on the web and nothing was done.
Yes the road washed out a few years back and that park was not open, the last two years it's been open and the work is not getting done.
I understand the need for grooming, and have no problem paying .... if it's getting done... but I very rarely ride other areas in WA so I don't care what is going on there. Just like all of you who are getting the grooming your paying for, your all ready to pay to keep it.

at wake pish they only groom the 25 road, not the road up to spirit lake
NOBODY GOT PAID
I can tell you this that nobody got paid if they didnt groom, not sure where you got your info , but that doesn not happen any more. Also , they used to groom up twards spirit lake a few years ago. But with the snopark being closed I'm sure it did not get done this year , Just guessing ?

Wow, you ride a lot in the parking lot (95%) you should try riding the mountain sometime:face-icon-small-win, sorry had to do it.:face-icon-small-ton
hey that way you dont get lost and you dont have to walk to far when you run out of gas
I am all for paying more for tabs but why don't we ask the out of staters to pay too. I ride the blues and 70% of the people in our lots our from Idaho and not paying a dime to ride maybe some of the nicest trails in the state.

yep. I pay to ride in ID
OREGON does not pay here as we dont pay there
We have a system call Reseprosity ( I have no idea how to spell it) with oregon which means we can ride there with out paying and they can ride here, this was set up years and years ago, not sure if its good or bad but thats the way it's been. State parks has looked into changing this , Idaho used to be the same way but they changed their laws so now in certain counties or grooming area's we have to pay. It's not quite an act of congress but close to change this, stay tuned

(reciprocity) you were close enough. How has the response been regarding raising the fee's, has WSSA received an overload of phonecalls and opinions, or is this a bad time of year to get input? I voted, but I won't say how, because somebody always is unhappy :face-icon-small-fro even if it's to help the cause. :face-icon-small-win
so you would rather not have to pay an extra $18 a year then to have snowparks not plowed and roads not groomed? I think taking shots at Dan is pretty pathetic.

I would be willing to pay $50 or $100 a year to keep the groomers and plows running.
Sledding isn't cheap. $50 or $100 is a drop in the bucket compared to the sled, the trailer, the tow vehicle, the super unleaded for the 10mpg sled, oil, all the gear to be safe and comfortable. Seriously, if you can't afford $20, you can't afford to sled.

Wow....tabs have been the same price for what now...close to 10 years? We are waaayyy past due for an increase to keep up with inflation, fuel prices etc...we tried to get this raised 7-8 years ago with no success.
As said....sledding ain't cheap....but the licensing is!
I am grateful for people like dan who go out of their way to keep us informed of what is happening and fighting for our right to ride.
The increase is less than the fuel for a days ride....not a big deal.
