most heavily visited times of the winter
season. If the park does not open as
scheduled on December 15, 2012, it
would create unnecessary hardship for
visitors who have already planned trips,
and would likely result in economic
losses for some visitors if reservations
had to be cancelled. Significant revenue
loss for businesses in and around the
park would also occur. Many businesses
in the gateway communities
surrounding the park, and the people
who rely upon them for their
livelihoods, are highly dependent upon
the park being open for the entire
duration of the approximately 90-day
season.
(4) Snowmobile and snowcoach
operators have made business decisions
and investments for the winter season
premised on an opening date of
December 15, 2012. Such actions
include purchasing new snowmobiles
and snowcoaches for their fleets,
making offers of employment, preparing
advertising and other materials, and
purchasing snowmobile accessories
such as suits, helmets, boots, mittens,
etc. A late opening would shorten an
already-brief winter season, thereby
depriving these businesses and others
that depend on the winter season (such
as hotels, restaurants, service stations,
and other hospitality-oriented
businesses) of revenue that is important
to their livelihoods.
