(1). Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. has a long history of balancing tourist access and ecosystem protection and has become a battleground over snowmobile usage. Approximately 3 million people visit the park annually, but <5% of them visit during winter (2). Historically, winter motorized access has been allowed only over groomed roads by snowcoach or 2-stroke snowmobile.
