From 2010 to 2039, snowmobiling season will be reduced from 11 to 68%.  From 2040 to 2069, snowmobiling will be eliminated, all due to climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snowmobiling in Canada <\/strong><\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The reason for the decrease and inevitable elimination of snowmobiling is that unlike alpine skiing and snowboarding activities, snowmobiling requires a minimum of 15 cm of adequate fresh and natural snow.  30 years of data (1961 to 1990) was used from 13 sites across <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canada<\/a> including the Prairies, Ontario,  Quebec and the East Coast.  Snowmobiling seasons averaged from 18 days in <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Nova%20Scotia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nova Scotia<\/a> to 100 days in <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Ontario\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/images\/articles\/snowmobiles.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Snowmobiles\" title=\"Snomobiles\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" width=\"230\" height=\"173\" align=\"right\" \/>Currently, the snowmobiling industry in Canada represents approximately $6 billion (USD) in goods and services.  The effect of inadequate weather conditions is being seen in the increase of ATV sales in conjunction with the decrease of snowmobile sales from 2000 to 2003.<\/p>\n<p>While projections in best case scenario are minimal, it is thought that decreases by the 2050s are projected to be about 90 to 100%.<\/p>\n<p>All the more reason to fight climate change!<\/p>\n<p>Source: McBoyle, G., D.
