Marilyn's Daily Grooming Message
April 1, 2023 (last report for 2022/23 season): Good morning everyone! Today at the Lake, the temp is 32 degrees, with a dusting of new snow this morning and currently still lightly snowing. This is my last grooming report of the season!!!! Last night, the following routes were groomed in the Lk Wenatchee area; 2, 2A, 2B to Chikimin, 3, 4, 4B, 6, 6C. This was a donated shift by the groomers. Thanks so much to them for all their hard work all season!! Remember you can thank them in person April 22nd at the Rec Club, with a BBQ starting at 5 pm. And thank all of you, for reading my ramblings every morning, and for all the great feedback and comments! Also thanks for all the great pics that you send me! I get to share those awesome pics with the rest of you and the LWRC's Facebook followers as well. Have a great spring and summer, and I'll be back next winter!

Grooming Funding
Grooming funding comes mainly from snowmobile registrations and fuel taxes, and is administered by Washington State Parks. The LWRC is the local "applicant" for those funds and works in cooperation with Washington State Parks and the USFS to manage the grooming operations. The LWRC holds fundraisers to supplement the grooming funds when State funds are depleted.
Snowmobile Registrations, Sno-Park & LWRC Parking
Local law enforcement regularly patrol the Lake Wenatchee/Entiat snowmobile trail system. Unregistered snowmobiles will be issued a ticket as well as vehicles parked at Sno-Parks but without a Sno-Park permit. WA State Licensing (DOL) Official Site: Licensing snowmobiles .
Sno-Park permits are required to park in designated Sno-Park areas: Winter recreation | Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission . Sno-Park permits are provided with snowmobile registrations; however, if you are renting a sled, you must purchase a day-use permit online or at local outlets if you wish to park at a Sno-Park.
The LWRC parking lot is plowed regularly for use by those with LWRC parking permits (included with LWRC annual membership).
Northwest Avalanche Center
Before venturing out on each ride, check the NWAC's app or website to check avalanche risk on the trails: www.nwac.us.
Washington State Snowmobile Association (WSSA)
WSSA focuses on promoting and preserving snowmobiling across Washington State: Home - Washington State Snowmobile Association (wssa.us) . WSSA's $25/year membership fee goes toward toward maintaining legislative contacts, training and education, events, trail maps, publishing and more.
