The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission invites the public to nominate winter sports enthusiasts for the agency’s snowmobile advisory committee. 

This includes a position representing the local area.

Three positions are available statewide to snowmobilers, and one is available statewide to individuals involved in non-motorized winter sports.

The Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Washington Association of Counties each have one representative who serves on the committee. Also included is an ex-officio member from the Washington Department of Licensing. 

The committee meets at least two weekends each year. Members may serve up to two, three-year terms. 

The Snowmobile Advisory Committee seeks candidates from the following areas:

• Area 3 which represents Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Lincoln, and Spokane counties,  
• Area 4, which represents Pierce, Thurston, Lewis, Cowlitz, Skamania, Clark, Mason, Pacific, and Grays Harbor counties.  

The committee also seeks an at-large candidate to represent non-motorized winter sports enthusiasts.
