We, the Mountaineers, own 54 acres near Stampede Pass (Easton / Martin), a few miles South of I-90 on the East side of Snoqualmie Pass. We purchased the property in 1928 and have used it as an all-volunteer non-profit ski resort since.
We love our trees and our primary interest is in the long term health of our forest. We have some incidence of root rot we'd like to avoid spreading and we're also keen to help our forest and buildings survive when a fire inevitably comes sweeping through.
We have a some volunteer sawyers who can help us implement some of the thinning. What we need is direction and guidelines. We are interested in the following programs:
We look forward to your assistance.

Answers to questions in the Forest Management Plan Guidelines & Template
Land Uses in the Vicinity: Our property is bounded by Forest Service land and the BNSF railway. (Parcel #606535 in Kittitas County).
Topography is hilly, ranging from 3,000' to 3,500'.
Access is via Exit 62 off I-90, take FR-54 to FR-5400-420. Follow the 420 road 1.5 miles. At the crest of the hill, the 420 continues straight and our driveway / BNSF rail access / BPA / PSE access road u-turns up the rail embankment, through our locked private gate, and then along the tracks. At the crossing, cross over the tracks and then left up our driveway.
General Forest & Property Description: We have a few cleared areas (a ski slope, and under BPA power lines that cross our property). There is a bit of old growth on one corner, some semi-thinned forest (for ski-ability) on much of the hills, and a lower flattish area in need of thinning. There are two streams that cross our property: martin creek, and tombstone creek, which begins on our property. We have a ski lodge and a few utility buildings scattered about the property.
Property Corner and Boundaries: the Southern border of Section 27 is our property edge and our property is mostly the SE corner of Section 27, as bounded by the BNSF railway. Boundaries are marked by USFS brown fiberglass markers in the ground and on a handful of bearing trees.
Land Use / Forest Management / Timber Harvesting History: We've never logged it off and never will. The biggest changes in the history of the land are (roughly):
