The Washington Pass area is now off limits as of Jan 1st thu June 30th.  Any bets the MVCC is behind it!??

[timberfaller]

The new regime is coming for you!  Any bets the excuse will be "liability"

My snowmobile identifies as skies so its ok

Pretty sure this is because of the fires that went through this year.

Closure says "for health and safety"

Avalanche danger due to fires?

And if there was evidence of avalanche danger it would be closed to all users.

There’s special permits for heli use in the area that are still being  allowed to maintain operations.

It literally can be read as targeting one user group. All other user groups can continue use. I know the state snowmobile association was on this yesterday. No comment period and a 4 day notice 

Watch it will be crowded now  I’ve heard and can see some large gatherings happening over the next several weekends

I don’t recall any fires in that specific area in recent past  .

Non motorized always get their way on the OWF and other forests. There's tons of environmentalists that work at the gs 11 and above who don't recreate in the woods, and if they do they only hike on trails or ski. Its sickening that they can push their personal agendas!

Here is a non motorized group in Wenatchee that wrecks the landscape and leaves trash everywhere.....all the while other user groups are not allowed to drive on exhausting roads.   Makes me sick. 

I believe they are out of Seattle... imagine that.  There is another sign that says they are partnering with USFS.....doesn’t anyone who pays taxes partner with USFS for public lands???

More pics of the trails and erosion that will follow with snow melt off.  The old trail was abandoned due to erosion.   

[Naches Sportsman]

Evergreen Alliance lobbies for expansions of motorized trails for non motorized users and also has a gathering that likes to build illegal trails. I love snitching on them when I come across new trails as I know they're illegal.

Local and I say "local", environmental activist!   I think ALL but one is a transplant from Nutsville!

Any fires would have been 2018-19.   Other areas burnt over the years have make for great snowmobiling!  If you like to research on the web,  look up the Federal employee's Union concerning the USFS,  it should shock every conservationist!!
