Abstract

As use of the snowmobile has increased - nearly 1 1/2 million now in use - the development and maintenance of snowmobile use areas has become a concern. A study made by Bombardier, Ltd., calls attention to safety problems, costs, trail design and maintenance, sign systems, rules and aids for snowmobilers, safety patrols and other services, and safeguards for the environment.
