Central Cascades Winter Recreation Council began Nov. 10th 2007 by Chris Caveizel who saw a need for more coordination and communication between users of the various Sno-Parks.  The Sno-Park program is heavily dependent on volunteers such as CCWRC.

 

The group meets once at the beginning of the winter season and at the end. Meetings are open to the public.  CCWRC does not manage any finances nor make any decisions concerning the Sno-Park budget.  Our focus is communication / coordination and education.

 

10 voting members of the council consist of representatives of clubs, snowshoer, snow play.  Terms are for 2 years.
