Snowmobiling is a fun and exciting family activity enjoyed by over four million people across the U.S. and Canada. The sport is a safe and enjoyable form of recreation if done properly and with respect.
International Snowmobile Safety Week is a good time to refresh your skills, learn from more experienced riders, and reach out to the snowmobile clubs where you ride.
Safe snowmobiling means:
- Snowmobiling and alcohol don’t mix – don’t drink and ride.
- Smart riders are safe riders – take a snowmobile safety training course.
- When night riding, slow down – expect the unexpected.
- Know before you go – always check local ice and trail conditions.
- Cross with care.
- Know the risks and be prepared – make every trip a round trip.
- One is the loneliest number – never ride alone.
- Ride safe and stay on the trail – respect private property. Take the Pledge to Preserve Access.
