Safety & Responsible Travel

Snowmobiling in the mountains can provide thrilling adventures but comes with its risks. Here are essential safety tips:

• Speed Management: Always ride within your capabilities to handle unexpected obstacles such as rocks, ruts, and overhanging limbs. It’s crucial to ride under control and keep to the right side of the trails to avoid potential hazards and oncoming riders.
• Safety Gear: Equip yourself with essential safety gear, including a helmet, gloves, eye protection, and suitable footwear. Ensure that youth riders have proper training, are supervised, and use appropriately sized machines.
• Preparation and Planning: Before embarking, check your machine thoroughly and ensure it is registered and insured. Carry basic first aid supplies, a tow rope, spare drive belt, and a GPS or a map. Discuss your ride plan with someone and be informed of the local conditions, including trail availability and weather forecasts.
• Ride in Groups: Whenever possible, ride with someone who knows the trails. If riding alone, consider a tracking device like SPOT to maintain contact with family or friends. This is especially important in areas with limited cell service.
• Mutual Awareness: Use simple signals like a thumbs up or thumbs down to communicate with fellow riders about your condition. If passing other riders, signal how many are in your group to ensure everyone knows when it’s safe to proceed.
