Starting then, you can travel most of the park's roads from the west, south, east and north entrances by approved commercially-guided snowmobiles and snowcoaches.
Visitors will also be able to travel into the park with the non-commercially guided snowmobile access program.
Park officials say the amount of snow in the park varies, so the type of transportation used on roads depends on conditions.
