COMPLAINTS ABOUT GROOMING OR SNO-PARKS?! (Jan '10) - If you have complaints about trail grooming or the conditions of a sno-park, there are several things you need to do. First, contact your local grooming council and see if this is an ongoing problem and if a solution is in the works. Second, you need to complete a "Sno-Park Grooming Comment Form" and submit it to Washington State Parks. If you do not complete the comment form and send it in, State Parks has no documentation to reprimand contractors or terminate contracts. (A phone call does not constitute documentation.)

And remember, you can submit a comment form for outstanding service as well! The comment form can be found here.

WSSA WEBSITE (Jan '10) - WSSA is up and running on our new website! If you find a problem or can't find something you are looking for, let us know! (Contact Matt Mead, WSSA Publicity Secretary, at matt.mead@wssa.us.)

ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS INTERVENE IN WSSA'S LYNX LAWSUIT (Aug '09) - Six environmental groups have filed a motion to intervene in the lynx lawsuit filed by WSSA and the Wyoming State Snowmobile Association. The groups are Defenders of Wildlife, Center for Biological Diversity, Conservation Northwest, Friends of the Wild Swan, Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance and the Lands Council.

Tim Preso, an attorney for the groups, stated "the critical habitat designation that's being challenged was a very important step in trying to ensure the survival of the lynx, but also to allow for the recovery of the lynx... we want to ensure that that critical habitat designation can do its work."

This 'intervene' is in addition to a separate lawsuit filed in May by the Sierra Club, Alliance of the Wild Rockies, Native Ecosystems Council and Center for Native Ecosystems claiming not enough lynx habitat was designated.
