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.
Make sure your snowmobile is licensed.
Purchase a trail permit if you plan on riding on trails (if required).
Remember - Don't Drink and Ride!!
