IMPORTANT NOTICE!
FROM COLORADO SNOWMOBILE ASSN
ACTION ALERT!!!
The USFS has released their new winter travel management rule, pursuant to the Court Decision on the Winter Wildland's matter!
After our initial review of the Proposed Rule, we are optimistic on the proposal for the following reasons:
1. The proposed rule recognizes that off trail snowmobile riding is a valid usage of NFS lands that should be continued, and is highly valued especially in the Western United States;
2. The proposed rule continues existing management decisions regarding over the snow vehicles, which means the riding area boundaries will not change as a result of the new rule and riding opportunities you will have this year are the same areas as you had last year; and
3. The proposed rule recognizes that open riding area boundaries are significantly larger for winter travel than summer travel and open riding areas for winter .

We need your comments to make sure the USFS can support the decision!!!! Any personal information you are able to provide about your participation in existing winter travel plans is HIGHLY valuable. Colorado has a large number of the winter travel plans already in place.
