Snowmobile ban being reconsidered

By Items compiled from Tribune news services

This article is basically about the ban that was pending for snowmobiles to be banned in Yellowstone National Park. But snowmobile companies filed a lawsuit against this. They claimed it was damaging the park and harming wildlife. Although this may be true, the solution for this is simply to have designated snowmobile trails that MUST be driven on, and action of the law will be taken if someone were to drive off these trails. 

When I go snowmobiling, I know to stay on the trails. There are not many places to go around our area, so when I do go either up to Whitney, or Haliburton, I know better than to go off the trail as this would result in a fine, or even having my license taken from me. Having a system like this in Yellowstone, it would cause some second thoughts for these people who go off trails. even though this National Park has to be protected, snowmobiling is a sport that should be appreciated and given a good, and proper trail. If there is a good, clean trail, I know for a fact that will attract more people than driving through the brush.
