| SNOWMOBILE SAFETY TIPS |
Don't travel alone - Ride with a buddy.
Always let someone know where you are going and when you will return.
Use check-in - check-out stations if they are provided.
Always ride on the right-hand side of the trail.
If riding in the mountains, check with local officials for avalanche warnings.
Always be prepared for the unexpected. Carry basic emergency and survival equipment, tool kit, spare parts and extra gas.
Become familiar with your snowmobile before going on extended trips and make sure it is in good operating condition.
You should always wear adequate winter clothing, protective goggles and even sunscreen.
Never cross frozen lakes and streams without checking the ice thickness first.
Watch the weather. Winter storms can set in very rapidly, resulting in white-outs leaving a rider disorientated.
Try to keep yourself in good physical condition.
When fueling your snowmobile, Be careful! Spilled gas can irritate and cause bare skin to freeze.
Remember - Don't Drink and Ride!!
