Why would people need to snowmobile in a national park??? Aren't there other wide open spaces for that?

Ask the business owners in West Yellowstone. Why should snowmobilers be denied access to the US National Park System?

Why would people need to walk/hike/sight-see/camp/etc. there either? Lots of open spaces elsewhere for those activities also.

I see now . . . just read an article. Had no idea how much of their local economy is snowmobile rental/sales based. Here in Canada, the problem is more with trespassers going off the beaten trails onto private property. All our national parks have trails pretty much!

What was the rationale beyond environment? Noise spoiling the quiet?

Wacko environmentalists. Same groups that are burning ski lodges and such.

That is a big deal there. My folks live in Timmins, the snowmobile trails are laid out better than the streets.

Before we give this place the impression that all of Canada is backwater and forest, let's expalin that Canadians love their big cities, too. You just cannot beat the great outdoors in winter when there's fresh snow to zoom through, though. Right, Tommy? Same in New England as here in Nova Scotia -- we love it when it snows.

Timmins is a big city. (By Canadian Standards) My folks have lived in much smaller ones.

the ban was based on emissions and noise polltuon numbers taken from snowmobiles up to 20 years old.when the green groups showed those to the senators looking to stay in office they quickly banned them without even checking the accuracy of the reports.
not that enviro groups would ever lie to get what they want :roll:

And the Companys that had Consessions in the park to haul people
around in the snow cats. they had some say in the matter.
if everyone was allowed to drive themselves around than how can they
charge like 50$ for a 2 hour "tour" of the Park??? :evil:
