Northwest Snowshoeing

An article published at Snowshoemag.com mentions the Winter Wildlands Alliance and talks with their Executive Director, Mark Menlove about the initiative and what the organization is attempting. In brief: "The organization, along with a coalition of 90 other recreation and conservation groups, in August submitted a formal petition to the U.S. Department of Agriculture urging it to amend its 2005 Travel Management Rule to regulate the use of snowmobiles on national forest lands and treat them just like other off-road vehicles are in the summer months. At the moment, the so-called “snowmobile loophole” leaves off-road use in the winter something of an open question."
