Holiday & Seasonal Safety
Snowmobiling
Know how to properly operate the particular model of snowmobile before driving it.
Wear goggles, helmets with chin straps and protective clothing.
Conduct a safety check before each ride. Never start without a full tank of gas.
Know the terrain. Know where fences, gullies, and rocks may be hidden. Beware of open bodies of water and thin ice.
Be alert. Remember that the loud noise generated by the snowmobile may prevent you from hearing an approaching train, snowmobile or car.
Don’t snowmobile alone, attempt stunts or use excessive speed.
Always let some know your intended plans including location and return time.
