Skiing and snow boarding enthusiast can rejoice since Sno-Park permits are available for purchase since Nov. 1.
Sno-Park permits allow visitors to park in specially cleared, designated parking lots with access to areas around the state for cross-country skiing, skijoring, snowmobiling, dog sledding, snowshoeing, tubing and other snow play, according to a Washington State Parks press release.
Sno-Park permits are sold in person and online from Nov. 1 through April 30 and must be displayed on the permit holder’s windshield during that timeframe. Sale revenue is dedicated to the Winter Recreation Program, the press release stated, and helps pay for trail grooming, snow removal, on-site sanitation, education and enforcement.
There are different types of permits;
Daily Sno-Park permits - This permit is valid at any Sno-Park for one, two or three consecutive days as indicated on the permit. The cost is $20 per day. All Sno-Parks honor the one-day permit, and individuals who purchase a one-day permit are not required to purchase a special groomed sticker.
