Hatcher Pass East Management Area & Summit Lake State
Recreation Site Snow & Trails Report
Wednesday, April 22, 2008
ATTENTION SNOWMOBILERS: All designated areas in the Hatcher Pass East Management
Area and Summit Lake State Recreation Site are still open to snowmobiling. Snowmobiliers are
currently enjoying the best snow cover we have had all winter long. Unfortunately recent sunny skies and
warm temperatures have begun to melt the snow, especially in the afternoons. So far the snowpack is
staying firm with some surface thawing. Park Rangers are monitoring the snow conditions daily and
anticipate closing to snowmobiling soon. Please remember that snowmobiles must be currently registered
with the Division of Motor Vehicles to operate legally on public lands. Snowmobilers are also reminded
that it is unlawful to operate a snowmobile on a maintained roadways.
