As someone who lives in a national forest, I have to put up with
snowmobilers every winter. While there are some considerate
snowmobilers, as a whole they are disruptive, disrespectful, and
generally a nuisance.

That said, I *do* have sympathy for them in this situation -- they
basically had the rug pulled out from under them. I would be pretty
upset if I spent thousands based on a particular plan, only to have it
changed literally the day before I was supposed to begin my visit.

A much more reasonable solution would have been to reinstitute the new
rules after a delay of say a week or two, so those who had already
travelled to the area would not have been left high and dry.
