Through their misinformation and outright lies, they will stop at nothing to achieve their self-serving goal.
The largest of these groups is the Sierra Club. They are extremely well funded and their battle ground of choice is the court room. The basic plan of attack is to eliminate snowmobiles from national parks entirely while creating more wilderness lands to disallow motorized recreation.

There are groups such as the Blue Ribbon Coalition and SAWS (Snowmobile Alliance of Western States) to combat these efforts and slowly progress is being made. I and my business, Gravity Worx Racing, are registered members of SAWS. We are not trying to compete with the Blue Ribbon Coalition, any Snowmobile Associations, or local clubs. We would like to increase their membership. Our membership is free so we do not take funds from them. I encourage everyone if you are not already member to join these organizations.

Our goal is numbers, so that we can represent enough snowmobilers to have an impact on future land use decisions. With enough people, the politicians have to listen.

Here is how we hope for SAWS to work. One priority of SAWS is to continue to increase our membership so that we have the ability to reach as many snowmobilers as possible. We want as many unique names as possible, so feel free to sign up husband & wife, individual & business, etc., as separate. SAWS will try not to send duplicate email when applicable. The utlimate goal would be to have the email address of every snowmobiler that has one. So please feel free to pass the word to everyone you can, in any way you see fit. We will help in any way you need.

There has been a recent victory for snowmobilers.

One of the major locations being fought over in the court rooms today is Yellowstone National Park. People who want to snowmobile in Yellowstone National Park this winter got an early Christmas present from Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont. -- a law that says the park will remain open.

"The language I've included works to protect those local businesses and economies by ensuring that, if snowmobiles are challenged in such a way again, the decision to remove them can't be implemented until the following season," Burns' statement said.
