grooming

Blewett Pass Sno- Park
users, please note:
Please obey posted
groomer access signs
and maintain a 20 foot
wide lane through the west
side parking area so the
groomer can access the
trails. We understand that
parking is limited in this
crowded area. If it is full,
consider traveling further
south to the Mineral
Springs Sno-Park.
Thank-you.

January 23, 2008 - We are so far unable to start our
groomer haul truck in the near-zero degree weather
this afternoon despite a new engine block heater,
new fuel filter, lots of diesel anti-gel, and lots of
effort. We have pushed it in the shop and will let it
thaw until morning which hopefully will solve the
problem. Unfortunately, this means the BlueCr/
Jack Creek/ Red Top/North Fork Teanaway system
(Mineral Springs and Teanaway/29 Pines
Sno-Parks) will not be groomed this week.
Assuming we get the truck running, we will continue
grooming at Keechelus Ridge tomorrow.

January 21, 2008 - The cat developed a lacing bolt
problem while grooming on Saturday night (end of
bolt broke off somehow), so we had to limp back to
the snow park. As a result the frontage road was
not groomed. Next week's schedule will be modified
due to repair needs on both cats and grooming
truck on Monday:

Monday: No grooming
Tuesday: Haney/Devils, Table Mountain
Wednesday: Blue/Jack/Redtop, Durst/Lion
Thursday: Keechelus Ridge, Snowshoe loop
Friday: Keechelus Ridge
Saturday: Keechelus Ridge/Table Mountain

January 7, 2008 - Due to maintenance needs on
the groomer, the Table Mountain routes (Table Mtn.,
Durst/Lion, and Snowshoe Loop) will be groomed
Tues-Wed-Thurs this week instead of
Mon-Tues-Wed. Teanaway/Red Top and Keechelus
Ridge routes will remain on their present schedule.

Before you hit the trail, remember you must have a valid Snowmobile
registration tag AND a valid and properly displayed Sno-Park pass on
your vehicle. Rules and regulations are strictly enforced on the Cle
Elum Ranger District. Remember, those fees go to pay for
over 500 miles of groomed trail!
