b'VAST Newsmay affect Vermonts economy.First, in a report by Emily Corwin, she reported that, the number of days with more than an inch of snow in Vermont has dropped from 130 in 1960, to 75 today. This affects Vermont in a significant way, the amount of snow has been almost cut in half over the course of 60 years.Another factor affecting snowmobiling is the amount of snow, Perry said is reduced snowfall affects snowmobile riders more than alpine or nordic skiers, because snowmobile trails are deeper and longer, and located at lower elevations. This is very true because snowmobiles need a lot of snow. And due to climate change, andTanner Gatesthe decrease of snowfall, the trails are becoming unusable. As a result there will be a decrease in the amount of snowmobilers.Second, in Vermont snowmobiling is one of the most popular winter activities. Emily Corwin said, a decline in snowmobiling in Vermont will likely have economic consequences.There is a lot of money made for theSend your Snow Angel pictures to editor@vtvast.org!businesses and people of Vermont. InWe will send you a t-shirt for your angel if we use your photo.the long run I feel that if there is less snow, and snowmobiling becomes less popular, it will have a major effect on the economy; like people not buying new snowmobiles, paying for registrations, and VAST endorsements. This is how climate change and the lack of snow will eventually change Vermonts economy for the worse; and with the lack of snowfall there will be fewer people snowmobiling, and it will affect Vermonts economy.In conclusion, I believe the factors that cause the most threat to snowmobiling in Vermont are related to climate change, which will affect things like reduced snowfall, and the effect it will have on the economy in Vermont.WORKS CITED Elizabeth Perry: Journal of Park and Recreation Administration Vol. 36pp. 31-51. 2018 https://doi.or g/10.18666/JPRA-2018-V36-I2-8307 Emily Corwin: Snowmobilers FeelLittle Colton Cyr is the new groomer-in-training for the Foote Of The Mountain Effects of Climate Change, Survey Shows.Snow Travelers.
