Winter Logging Taking Place Near Cabin Creek Sno-Park May Affect a Portion of Groomed XC Ski Route in December
Release Date:
Cross country skiers looking for early season opportunities on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass should be aware of private logging activities for permitted conservation thinning that are taking place in the vicinity of the #4826 Cascade Road, also known as “The Road”, which makes up part of the Cabin Creek groomed cross-country ski-trail system located on the north side of the Cabin Creek Sno-Park at Exit 63 off Interstate-90.
Recreationists are asked to stay clear of log felling and loading and hauling operations throughout the operation period.
The thinning work is expected to conclude by December 15, if weather conditions allow. All cooperators are trying to minimize disruption for cross country skiers. The logging truck haul route does not affect the southernmost ¼-mile section of the #4826 road and groomed route where it crosses Forest Service ownership. Also not affected by the haul route is the #4822 Amabilis Road. Winter grooming on those portions can go ahead as usual as snow conditions allow.
The Winter Recreation Program at Washington State Parks coordinates and manages Sno-Parks across the state and in partnership with federal agencies, private landowners, and other state/county agencies. The contracted winter grooming of cross-country ski trails in this area usually runs from early December thru March, depending on snow conditions and other factors.
