Hello, Derrick here from the seward ranger district,
While I know all of the avid snowmobilers are angry about these youngsters riding early, I would like to point out that is is in fact legal to ride in the Palmer Creek Valley. After extensive research here we have found that the town of Hope is not government funded making them able to pass laws through the town. Therefore it is legal to ride, although I would not recommend it due to other enviro's.
Thanks,
Derrick

Palmer Creek not open to riding yet
F.Y.I.
We do read these forums. You are right Palmer creek is not open to riding yet. The Chugach National Forest doesn't open until December 1st, if we have adequate snow cover. The last several years the snowmobile opening has not been until after xmas day. Seems like we have been getting a warm spell with rain about mid to late November the last several years.
Please call and find out first. Check our web site or call one of our offices. We have Ranger district offices in Seward and Girdwood.
I understand everyones ready to get out and ride but please wait until it is legal. You don't want to give the non motorized folks any more ammo to try and close more areas.
Thanks have a safe season. See you out on the trails.
