R Suggest developement steps
for good snowmobile trails
A new 24-page Guide to the
Development and Maintenance of
Good Snowmobile Trails has been
published'by Bombardier Limited
as part of the Company'sSnoplan
program.
The comprehensive new guide
is designed for use by forest,
park, and other public land mana-
gers, snowmobile clubs t private
land developers, government of-
ficials and others, in the planning
and maintenance of good snow-
mobile trails.
The guide is available, without
charge, to persons involved or
interested in the develppment and
maintenance of snowmobile trails
by writing on organizational
letter head to snoplanTrailStudy
Manager, Bombardier Limited,
Valcourt, Quebec, Canada. Trail
guide users may then request
continuing information as it be-
comes available.
procedures outlined in the book-
let will help reduce infringe-
ments of the sport on none-users,
since well-groomed trails keep
snowmobilers attracted to the
trails themselves, not to pri-
vate or non-trail areas."
Bombardier has spent more
than two years researching ways
to make trails safer and more
fin to use. Discussions with
conservationists, snowmobilers,
local businessmen, and trail area
managers have determined that
increased trail grooming can
among all snowmobile en-
thusiasts. At the same time,
provide safer, more enjoyable
snowmobiling.,
Seven case studies at trail
areas throughout the U. S. and
Canada reached the same con-
clusion: 'As trail maintenance
increases; proper usage goes up
and economic benefits accrue to
communities, too. Results of the
studies are contained in the
new booklet.
The guide suggests where and
how trails can be planned in
harmony with the environment,
safety precautions to be obser-
ved and cost estimates of trail
development and maintenance. It
also includes tips on suggested
width of trails, maintenance per
mile of usage, people and equip-
ment needed to do an effective
job. Guidelines are given too
for grading, curves, road cros-
sings, marking of trails, and
corollary trail facilities.
The guide is not product-
oriented. Laurent Beaudoin,
president of Bombardier
Limited, comments, "We are
attempting to show how simple
but constant attention to snow-
mobile trails can result in in-
creasing the sport's popularity
