I am an avid ATV rider. I used to ride snowmobiles also. For many years I had both. After years of disappointment in the lack of snow and/or the expense of traveling to the far north country to ride, I gave up on snowmobiling. Its awesome, but it just doesnt snow enough in the southern half of the state, where I live, to warrent owning one anymore. I cant afford to spend the money to travel to the Burg to ride. With an ATV I can ride anytime I want. Snow just adds to the fun. There will always be the bickering about what ATVs do to the trails. In the winter I ride trails that are both ATV and snowmo trails. But out of courtesy to the snowmobilers I wont ride them on the warmer days. If its over freezing 32 degrees I go to the ATV trails. If snowmobilers chose to ride there and the trails are all train tracked from the ATVs they have no reason to complain. There ATV trails. I have been to many places on days when its 30 degrees out with a dozen ATVers and you cant even tell we were there. So its not fair to say that they ruin the trails always. Ive seen many trails ruined by sleds.
