Comments regarding snowmobile trail categories

Collectively, the points made in these letters can be summarized as follows:  A. Snowmobile trails should either be exempted from environmental review or at least there should not be mandatory review categories for these trails, B. Because snowmobiles ride on snow or ice cover and do not directly contact the ground, and because the ground is frozen, snowmobile trails do not adversely impact the environmental, C. Preparing EAWs or EISs for snowmobile trails would be wasteful, unnecessary paperwork and D.  Snowmobile riders are aware of environmental issues and do not wish to harm the environment
