Oregonians, FYI...Washington Sno-Park Passes

The way it is heading, future user fees may well be structured using the airlines fee system to maximize income. Different prices for all depending on destination, length of stay, class and the time and day of your reservation. It seems to me that that is what a "user fee pays for all costs" system is all about. We're just getting what we have asked for. As for the state fee system, I'm new to this land. Is there an app for that?

Well actually parking at some sno-parks requires 3 permits:
WA sno-park $40/yr
WA sno-park groomed trails sticker $40/yr
WA discovery pass $30/yr

That's along with a NW forest pass ($30/yr) or national park pass ($80/yr) if you use those areas.  Not to mention individual climbing fees if you want to go up rainier or adams or helens, or backcountry camping permits if you want to use the Olympics or several other areas...

But luckily it's a very clear and easy to understand system that encourages public support.

Not exactly true. You can ski off the top of Adams for fee free if you park in the right spot and climb when it is not "climbing season"...

Anyways, not digging the lack of reciprocity thing. Live in WA, ski hood for liftserve and bc; but go north for lift serve on occasion and typically ski helens during the winter, xc locally. I just wish WA would plow curly creek road. I will say though, many times it is alot easier to do the 1.5 hr drive to Mt. Hood than it is to make it to and from work in the winter.
