snowmobilers damage

I am a bit disappointed in those snowmobilers who show little regard for the summits they ride up to. I am referring to Mt. Straightback and Mt. Major specifically. In the past I have seen tracks riding all over the vegetation on both summits and with the nice new snow I am seeing this pattern repeated. Last weekend (Sunday) someone rode all over the blueberry fields on Mt. Straightback and just today a snowmobiler left dozens of bloody tissue pieces just before the summit of Major. There were no hiker tracks. This was done by a snowmobiler. Is this really needed? It spoils it for others.
