Thinking about a winter visit to Yellowstone? If so, you may find the new plan for snowmobile and snowcoach use in the park helpful in planning your trip. On October 15, 2009, the 2009 Yellowstone Interim Winter Use Plan was implemented, allowing up to 318 snowmobiles and 78 snowcoaches per day into Yellowstone for the winters of 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. All snowmobiles will have to be commercially guided and conform to Best Available Technology (BAT) emission and sound level requirements. The new plan continues to provide for motorized oversnow travel over Sylvan Pass and the East Entrance road. As with previous plans, snowmobile and snowcoach travel will be restricted to existing park roads groomed for their use.
Rules to implement the new plan will be published in the coming weeks in the Federal Register to allow Yellowstone to open for winter as scheduled, on December 15, 2009. During the next two years, the NPS will prepare a new Environmental Impact Statement and a new long term plan for winter use in Yellowstone National Park.
The Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and the the Old Faithful Snow Lodge are both open this winter. To book lodging, activities, and transportation inside the park, visit www.YellowstoneNationalParkLodges.com or call 866-439-7375. |

Space Available In Winter Courses |

 Yellowstone travelers often fit into one of two categories: those who briefly wonder what kind of animal made a track in the snow, and then move on, and those who wonder, and then find out. If you want to find out, join us for a winter field seminar. We still have room in our courses at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch. Courses cover a wide range topics including: Food for the Masses: November 17-23, 23-29, November 29 to December 5, 5-11, $700. Help research how Yellowstone's wolves affect scavengers.
Wilderness First Aid: January 8-9, $230. Learn skills to treat wilderness wounds and respond to a backcountry emergency.
Secrets of the Snow: January 21-23, $225. Analyze how winter conditions affect the park's ecology, including its plants and wildlife.
