Reading through the forest circus plan is crazy confusing (Big surprise)

Does anyone know if their chosen plan closes Lionshead to snowmobiling?

What other changes would be implemented?

I would like to see a map of what would change in terms of motorized use.

I think the biggest difference to the new plan is the "Backcountry Area" designations. What makes these confusing is the use can be different from one region to the next. For example by Bozeman it might be foot traffic and horses only, then in the Pryors it might be open to motorized use. Each "Backcountry Area" is supposed to tailor it's uses to what the local population wants. We'll see how that works out
