I think winter sports are the best thing that ever happend to the world, any so many people participate in them, including SnoCross, so do you think those are some of the people who should be really concerned about Global Warning? And should snowmobile companys look towards cleaner snowmobiles?

Even though people who take part in winter sports don't usully contribute to Global Warming by doing so, they should speak out because if the earth warms there sports are gone..to some extent.

I am a skier, so no insult intended..but to say that winter sports enthusiasts do not contribute to global warming is ridiculous...think about it...we need to drive to the mountain...trees must be clear-cut to make our trails, the lifts all use either electricity or diesel, the grooming cats use tons of fuel..snow making is an environmental nightmare, ( ever see the size of those diesel compressors?, not to mention the lakes that get drained)---we are not innocent victims...we are definitely contributes of this problem and we need to be aware...we cannot point fingers while we do noting to minimize our own impact.

Snowmobile companies should look toward cleaner snowmobiles, but winter sports are great and open a lot of doors to a lot of things. The people concerned about global warming can't blame winter sports because most of them don't affect any part of the environment.

Unfortunately Winter sport participants almost can't help contributing to global warming, for example people driving hundreds of miles in a carbon monoxide emitting vehicle to get to a ski resort. But you're right if snowmobile companies aren't concerned in about 50 years they'll all find themselves seeking other buinesses.
