Saturday's ride would have been so much better if the road was groomed Friday
Gallagher grooming
- Thread starter Ezeekel
- Start date

Does anyone know when they may drag a plow over the road up there?

NO grooming until the F.S. closes the road down at Salmon La Sac. Believe me I would love to be grooming something, not my call.... Tim

What's their phone number can we call and try to persuade them
to do some partial grooming until the snow pack improves

Others have already tried.
It sounds like the Forest Service is going to stick to the rules. We need a foot and a half at the snowpark to begin grooming.
anyone know when they are going to open Price Creek?

Maybe the rules need to be changed are they worried about damage to the road or something else
they have groomed at green water 4 or 5 times
they should allow them to groom what is there
so if we go all winter with not enough snow on the lower end of the road we get
sh*tty ride up to Gallagher for the rest of the season.
doesn't sound very reasonable

Thanks

I understand why there is no grooming, don't agree but that's just the way it is. The thing I would like to know is what is done with the budget? And will we be able to groom later into the season because of the slow start?

so I called and talked to lady ranger and she kept telling me that washington state controls the grooming and she doesn't have anything to do with it
so I said great than they can do a partial groom
then she started to get pissed
she's afraid that the groomer will either hit someone or someone will hit them
so I ask about a temporary sign and a berm like they do at greenwater to keep wheeled vehicles out
flat out refused
must be too much work for her
more people should call and complain

If you do call have some respect please these people are only doing there job. Being a A..hole does not help. They have policy and procedures to abide by. As for extending the season that again is up to Washington state Parks and the F.S.
This would all be solved with a big dump but it doesn't look good in the short term, greenwater was still very nice on Sunday.

Doesn't seem like a big deal. I drove so far up in my pickup before I launched there wasn't far to go after that.

Unloaded just before Camp Creek yesterday for a short ride. Wasn't bad if you take your time. Slick roads at times. A little lonely up at the top though..... buddy bailed on me for his inaugural Gallaher ride. Still had a great time:clap2:

if you can drive up that far still then what would you folks like them to groom the ice and rocks? seriously are you to lazy to lift your azz off the seat for a few miles? its currently Freezing Rain so it might be filling in the bumps....

I don't think he is being a jerk.. it would be nice if they would just redirect some of the groomers off of areas that are in good shape.. it takes about 3x longer than it should to get up gallagher because of the whoops. I don't think you could sit over them if you wanted to. One pass with the groomer would set it straight for a good while.
can you share the number you called?

By making calls you are helping nothing at this point....in fact you may be hurting our cause. The person answering calls does not have the ability to re write a grooming guideline.
We are lucky to have a grooming team in that area that is in touch with the sled community. At this point we need snow. Not protestors.
