End the Snowmobile Exclusion!

BSI's partner group, Winter Wildlands Alliance, has created a comprehensive petition to the Department of Agriculture to overturn the 2005 Travel Management Rule's exemption of snowmobiles from enforcement regulations. 

Currently, snowmobiles are not restricted to certain trails and areas like other backcountry motorized vehicles are, even though snowmobiles are clearly defined as off-road vehicles in the ORV Executive Orders (11644 and 11989) that the 2005 Rule is supposed to implement. CMC, of course, has signed on to the petition.

Winter Wildlands Alliance has good info on the executive orders and legal framework here, and more general resources here.
