From The Billings Gazette:
Although the issue remains mired in legal dispute, snowmobiling is likely to be part of Yellowstone National Park next winter, Secretary of [the Interior] Gale Norton said Wednesday.
“I am certainly confident that it will be,” Norton said during a question-and-answer session with reporters in a telephone conference.
Before next winter season, National Park Service officials may have to conduct further environmental studies, examine the numbers of snowmobiles allowed into the parks and look at management practices, Norton said. She did not provide details.
“We are currently looking at our options to see what the implications of the court decisions are,” Norton said.
