Stay on marked snowmobile trails - Marked trails offer signs that alert snowmobilers to trail changes, bridges, stops, curves, etc. |
Respect private property and stay on the trail - Objects may be hidden under the snow off marked snowmobile trails. |
Ride for the conditions - Many accidents involve hitting a fixed object, fence, tree, rock or other objects. |
