El Sendero Backcountry Ski and Snowshoe Club

El Sendero created this page to inform of upcoming events and trips, trip reports, backcountry policies, advocacy work and education programs.

El Sendero Backcountry Ski and Snowshoe Club represents winter backcountry recreationists by advocating the creation, preservation, and management of non-motorized winter areas on public lands. We work to preserve backcountry areas for quiet human-powered use, promote winter backcountry safety and ethics, and cooperatively resolve conflicts among backcountry users. El Sendero is a non-profit organ

A few more photos from this year's fall trail maintenance up at Tronsen Winter non-motorized area.

11/12/2022

Annual fall clearing of the Tronsen Winter non-motorized trails has been ongoing for years by a small group of volunteers. Without this work the trails in winter would be largely unusable. The USFS never contributes to the trail maintenance work and so it's up to us volunteers. Rob Mullins from Leavenworth has spearheaded the volunteer work. El Sendero has purchased signing and a chainsaw to contribute to the effort. Come out an join us in the fall (we also do midwinter maintenance).

After this weeks high winds we went out to clear the Tronsen winter nonmotorized BC ski trails again. Two saws and 4.5 hours later we cleared the East Loop trail. Thanks Rob Mullins for all your dedication and hard work to keep these trails open for the hundreds of winter users.

About 6 of us clear downed trees on the roads and trails of the Tronsen winter non-motorized area on Blewett Pass each October. It takes a full month. Without this annual work some areas would be impassable. Come join our work parties and lend a hand- no experience necessary. Thanks to Rob Mullins for leading the effort all these years!
