there are big differrences from the 97-99's to the 00-02's, but if all you're doing is trail riding you'll have a great time.
Just one question, Why travel so far just to go trail riding

I am almost obsessed with Yellowstone. I've been there four times, all in summer. I've been wanting to do a winter trip for many years. Last summer I found out about the snowmobiling ban and decided that I needed to get up there now instead of later. If I went later, I would be reduced to riding around the park on a glorified bus. No thanx. I am also a person of very limited experience at best. I had one sole season on the Deere before having to move south and away from my beloved mountains. It's been 5 years since I've climbed on a machine, and I want the more tightly controlled environment within the park to get my "snowfeet" back in practice. Speeds are kept to a maximum of 45 mph in the park, and are supposedly VERY strictly enforced.
I will very likely go back up there again next season as well since as things now stand, unless the regulations are overturned, it will be the last, and @ only 50% of this seasons attendance. Once I get more experienced with running newer equipment, and less likely to become a problem for the highly experienced riders, I'll then look into checking out other areas.
