CHEYENNE -- A judge in Wyoming says he has no authority to block a federal plan to reduce snowmobile traffic in Yellowstone National Park this winter.

Wednesday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer may mean no more than 318 snowmobiles will be allowed in the park each day this winter. Last year, the park allowed 720 snowmobiles.

The number of snowmobiles that should be allowed in the world's first national park has been the subject of a long, convoluted legal battle.

Snowmobile proponents, including the state of Wyoming, say the activity is important to the economies of communities around the park during the winter. Environmentalists contend the machines cause noise and air pollution in the park.

Environmentalist A$$holes!

If they are so god damn worried about noise and air pollution maybe they should limit the number of tour busses and big motorhomes...and see who squeals then! Maybe if there were some more people uniting to keep it open as a whole we would be better off! I think it ought to open season on Subarus with ski racks, tie dye shirts and anyone with an environmentalist bumper sticker!

I'd imagine summertime use will be the next target but they need to get winter use shut down first. One step at a time.

couldn't have said it better myself. would love to see a whole trash pit full of "subaru people and their cars"
don't kid your selves. these wackos want yellowstone just like yosemite. now cars at all. just "tour buses" and trams. all electric or hybrid, of course. if you don't believe me, just click on one of their web sites and if they have the guts maybe, just maybe they'll admit it to your face. bunck of lilly livered cowards is what they are

Oh, summer is next, mark my words. They may never shut the park down, but buses or elevated rail, are next. Summer visitors touring around in 45 foot motor homes, and personal cars, are going to be a endangered species soon. They did it at the Grand Canyon, and Yosemite, they can do it here.

Has been and will be a very hot political issue especially with the NObama Administration. The Fern Fondlers will continue to be very active as they have the upper hand out in DC land. SO why did NObama carry West Yellowstone in the last election......just haven't been able to figure that one out yet???

Same reason Sun Valley voted for Obama, because rich liberals want to live near the thing they want taken away from everyone else.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Wyoming won't seek an injunction against a new rule limiting the number of snowmobiles entering Yellowstone National Park this winter and next to less than half what had
allowed in recent years.

Wyoming Attorney General Bruce Salzburg says snowmobile operators around the park are already prepared for the new daily limit of 318 snowmobiles a day.

The National Park Service had allowed up to 720 snowmobiles a day into the park over the past five winters but actual use has been far less.

A federal appeals court in Denver on Tuesday dismissed one of Wyoming's challenges to the new snowmobile limits at Yellowstone. The court ruled the challenge was pointless because the Park
Service already adopted the new rule.
