Confused, what all permits are required to park your truck at a snow park?

sweet. I took my daughter to the class, had the sheriff clarify at the end of the day this question. He understood that he was admitting that it was a complete waste and was kind of sheepish?

Just a small clarification. U do NOT need a discover pass to park in a designated sno-park anywhere in Washington! That is what sno-park permits are for.
However u DO need a discover pass to park in DNR's designated 'winter recreation areas', such as Tampico/ Ahtanum. Not to be confused with a sno-park.

Just remember, DNR does not have 'sno-parks' they are 'winter recreation areas' therefore they do not accept 'sno-park' permits.

That is where most people get confused. Ahtanum is listed on the WA Snopark Website as a snowpark, although technically it isn't a snowpark, and is run by DNR. Easy to oversee until you are pulling in to it without a discover pass and get a ticket.

Last Saturday I took my sled up to cold creek. I was driving through white pass and I got pulled over by a what I think was a Sheriff. Nice enough guy just doing his job. Anyhow he asks if I knew i had a burnt headlight? me: Nope, Thanks. Him:You have no plate on your trailer. Me: I don't need one I'm from oregon and the trailer is under 1800lbs. He said he never heard of it and gave me a ticket for no permit on the trailer. My tow vehicle registration expired on the tenth it was thirteenth. He said "only three days, so, just a warning".
He also said "I need to carry registration for the sled with me even though it has tags. But, again just a warning.
Also a warning for the headlight.
Has anyone else heard of getting a washington permit for a trailer being towed by an oregon driver that doesn't require licensing in oregon?

I bought a trailer in Oregon once and got a ticket for no license plate too. Half way home with it, get pulled over, and the cop said every state requires plates on all trailers. He kept asking if I was sure it wasn't stolen. Frustrating!

cops

ya some think they know all the rules heres a good one. Last year I got pulled over by a Washington stater that told me I cant just cut up a trailer and put it on top of my bed, that was a waste of 40 minutes no ****. He came up to my door two more times and said really a sled deck and went back to his car and computer . Finally I got out of my truck went to his door and told him to write me a ticket or im gone I was about to piss my pants I got his badge number and had another stater school him the next morning he might have been 23.LOL. I got the ticket for no plates on Oregon trailer too also heard no go , won that ticket.
