Cle Elum Ranger District Grooming Report

[Simon, John K -FS]

Hi Everyone, It’s been very busy the last couple of weeks.  We had a huge amount of snow which brought down a lot of trees on all the routes. Today I finished clearing the last of our routes of trees.  This week we groomed the Teanaway Ridge routes from Mineral Springs.  These included Blue, Jack, Red Top and Dicky, not only did we have a lot of snow to push through but we also had a number of trees to clear.  The rest of the week we hope to groom the Table Mtn. routes and the Keechelus Ridge route.  Now that the snow is settling you need to watch out for holes and ditch lines appearing.  In these places your snowmobile could drop 4-6 feet so be careful.  Always check the avalanche report and always tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.  Have fun and be safe, John Simon
