Snowmobiles are permitted on a lot more trails than ATVS. One example is Rabbit Ears pass, east of Steamboat Springs. There are dedicated snowmobile trails and cross country ski trails, but ATV's are not permitted. Same thing on Vail and Monarch Pass.
Once there is sufficient snow on the ground, snowmobiles do far less damage to the land than ATV's.
Concerning your previous post. Locals do get it about NR tags sales, but NR's don't get it usually that just because they pay exorbitant tag fees does not give them some free pass.
If NR sales went down, trust me, residents would take up the slack. In addition fewer tags would mean fewer hunters which would mean fewer WCO's to enforce the laws so CPW could get by with less money.
This is just another person 1500 miles away trying to explain how Colorado should run their Game Department when they don't live here and suffer the problems or don't know all the laws.
