Small Towns Make Hay While Snow Falls

"The $7 billion-a-year U.S. snowmobile industry has dramatically helped to resurrect small towns such as Millinocket thathave little else to keep them afloat during the winter. In recent years, the growth of snowmobile-related tourism has allowedrestaurateurs in Vermont, outfitters in Wisconsin and lodge owners in Montana to generate jobs and tax revenue wherethere was little or none before...Conservation groups contend the machines are noisy, endanger wildlife, spoil air and water, and leave unburned fuel thatseeps into the ground."
