SNOWMOBILE SAFETY TIPS

·         Don't travel alone - Ride with a buddy.

·         Always let someone know where you are going and when you will return.

·         Always ride on the right-hand side of the trail.

·         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.

·         Watch the weather. Winter storms can set in very rapidly, resulting in white-outs leaving a rider disorientated.
