Freealpental.org is a community, grassroots
based organization of people who peaceably assemble on U.S. Forest
Service land at Alpental (German for "Alpine Valley"),
about a mile North of Snoqualmie Pass in the central Washington
Cascade mountains. "Das Tal" has for many years been home
to a unique community of backcountry climbers, skiers, snowboarders,
snowshoers, hikers, and other wilderness enthusiasts enjoying what
is our national heritage; public wilderness. Our purpose is to
advocate for public use of public lands at Alpental, to discourage
any privatization (I.E. land trade deals) of our public lands there,
to facilitate public comment and opinion to the Forest Service
Supervisor (who issues the Special Use Permit [Ref. FSM 2710] to the
holder), to provide information resources for public safety while
using this public land, and to take a pro-active stewardship role in
the care and conservation of this, our national wilderness area.
Contrary to some perceptions, we are not "anti-ski area,"
we are however pro-access and stewardship. Thank you for helping us
keep the true spirit of Alpental alive! |
