Rider Responsibilities
- Snowmobiling access across private and public lands is not a right but is rather a privilege, so respect the property which trails run through
- Be safe and courteous at all times
- Portray that snowmobilers take safety seriously every time you ride
- Respect all laws and obey all trail signs
- Respect others who may use the same trails or riding areas; this may include other snowmobilers, cross-country skiers, hikers, snow-shoers, dogsleds and in some areas even OHVs or fat tire bicycles
- Always operate at reasonable and prudent speeds to prevent injury to yourself and others who may be ahead of you, around corners, or over hills
