Abstract
The following technical report on the Cook County resident survey was developed as a part of
the larger research project “Tourism and Winter Trail-based Recreation: An economic and
environmental comparison of motor and quiet sports.”
The project was designed to document and compare the impacts of snowmobiling and cross
country skiing in a destination county. It will measure the economic impacts and assess the
perceived social and environmental impacts of these activities. This study employed
questionnaires with snowmobilers and cross country skiers and survey local residents in Cook
County, Minnesota. An understanding of the differences between motor sports (snowmobiling)
and a quiet sport (cross country skiing) is useful in planning future development, minimizing
negative impacts, and improving marketing decisions.
