I refused to make an opinion on it until I truly witnessed it for myself. I wanted to make an educated statement when I had learned more first hand. Now, I think I can do that. Perhaps four-stroke machines would be a positive solution to this. They don t go as fast, but who needs to go too fast when you are trying to make sure you see all the wonders of Yellowstone.
Snowmobiles are a great way to see the park if used responsibly.
Hopefully if people lead by example, everyone will follow suit and use them right. Many of the problems I see with traffic jams in bad spots and spooked animals are the same ones I see in the summer with cars. Acting properly in any moving vehicle while near animals and while using a major road in the park is a necessity and something that must be done in both the summer and the winter. So, while the impending ban might be a bit extreme, I think it is important to make a few changes and increase awareness to make sure that everyone can view the Yellowstone winter wonderland in the safest and most enjoyable manner. If these things were done, hopefully all sides would be a little more pleased with the compromise.
