No! It was only open for snowcoaches (I saw a sign)!! Having not been to YNP in the winter since (ah, hem) 1974, I could be wrong -- but isn't it true that the old Fountain Flats Drive has been the snowcoach route for several years? While considering such things, and that supposed downturn in snow mobile use, I just found that Montana now has a by-fee permit system for out of state snowmobiles. I think probably the great majority of such use is by rental in town, but could the new (this year, I guess) fee be part of the reduced use? Just a thought.
