Thanks for all the ideas so far. I like the route (relationship) approach
and that seems very appropriate. Unfortunately I did not do the mapping and
am just trying to figure out how much to get involved in this snowmobile
project yet (am concentrating on bike paths, etc for now).

You might better use something like highway=path which allows for use by
multiple vehicle types (snowmobile, ATC, ATV)
Winter-only snowmobile routes are mapped if they are signed. Create a route
relation with type=route + route=snowmobile (used 141 times) - see

Ideally, I'd say that most snowmobile routes should be relations, not ways.
At least in the places I'm familiar with (New England and Montana), a

roads that are open to wheeled traffic in some conditions. Having the

Steve,
I don't have the patience to put up with discussions about admin levels. As
