Temporary snowmobile plan has a low limit on snowmobiles-
Plan issued for snowmobiles in Yellowstone. Temporary measure sets limits lower than plan rejected by judge. The Associated Press. LA Times.
Plan: 318 snowmobiles. Jackson Hole News and Guide. By Cory Hatch.
This came out very close to the opening of the season. The Park closed to wheeled vehicles this morning (Nov. 3).
Update (Nov.5):Plan for snowmobiles satisfies green groups. But temporary solution will mean less business. Bt Cory Hatch. Jackson Hole News and Guide.
