Mt Adams beta?

Skied on Adams today, started out nice and quiet, one skintrack through the fresh snow, light wind. Made it the bottom of south butte and the brap brap gang went over the top of south butte and up suksdorf. Another crew shredded crescent glacier to the point I didn't even bother taking a lap on it. Everything between Crescent and South butte had snomo tracks on it by the time I came down. If you find this unacceptable please send an email to Jamie Herrera Beutler via her site: herrerabeutler.house.gov/ and cc her outreach director PAM.PEIPER@MAIL.HOUSE.GOV with your concerns.

WOW... THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get any pictures of offenders? will be up tomorrow with telephoto lens. ..maybe piano wire

would also notify Mt. Adams Ranger District & GPNF. I spoke with them this past week (they had attempted to use some 'techniques' to help enforce which obviously failed-being vague since these jackasses very well may glean info from here)

Piano wire?  Killing with your car is legal, but piano wire isn't.  You may want to re-think that.

Edit to add:
x2 on the request for photos! That is helpful in identifying when incursions take place and when they do, catching the d-bags.

Was an entirely rhetorical statement meant to convey degree of my displeasure.

I suppose if every snomo rig & trailer had flat tires that might elicit LEO/ranger presence to the area.

I will be ready with my camera. I had two of these shitheads come by me on the trail near the car last weekend-ripping up the tread where there wasn't snow but was not ready with camera.

Thanks Patarero for the link.  A message can also be sent to Gifford Pinchot Nat Forest at www.fs.usda.gov/contactus/giffordpinchot/about-forest/contactus .

Just so everyone is clear - this is deep in a wilderness area.  Snomos are not prohibited on Mt Adams - it's the wilderness they are trespassing on.  Makes me wonder if this actually happens all winter, and the early melt just makes it noticeable this year.

WA St is very clear on using motorized vehicles in wilderness - punishable with $500 fine/6 months in jail penalty:

Wilderness isn't just to give people a quiet place to recreate - it's important for wildlife too - wolverines have been sighted in that area:

I know, preaching to the choir...
