Tim Foss, Cle Elum area Winter Rec Manager for the USFS, asked me to post the following:
Hog Loppet Ski Race February 26, 2011
The annual Hog Loppet ski race from Mission Ridge ski area to Blewett Pass will be February 26, 2011 this year. Although the race course is not actually closed to snowmobiles, snowmobilers can have a more enjoyable day – and promote goodwill among all users - by avoiding that area that day. The race area includes the Haney Meadow area, the “rockslide”, and the Blewett Pass Sno-Park. As an alternate access to the meadows on top of Table Mountain, we recommend the Reecer Creek Sno-Park, or Mineral Springs (via Durst Creek, Snowshoe Ridge, and 3507 road). Most snowmobilers have been very considerate in the past, and we’re once again asking for your help to make this a successful day for everyone.
