Drugs and Alcohol
Never ride after consuming alcohol or drugs. Riding
on a snowmobile requires the operator and passen-
ger to be sober, attentive and alert. The use of drugs
and alcohol, singly or in combination, increases reac-
tion time, impedes judgment, impairs vision and
inhibits your ability to safely ride on a snowmobile.
Avalanche Safety Training Courses
We recommend that all mountain riders take a local
avalanche safety training course to become more
familiar with snow conditions and learn how to prop-
erly use their equipment. Here are some websites
that can help you find important information:

Protective Gear
Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn by all
riders. It should be comfortable and not too tight.
Always check the weather forecast before going on a
ride. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Ther-
mal underwear next to the skin also provides a good
insulation.
Always wear an approved helmet at all times for
safety and comfort. They provide warmth and reduce
injury. A stocking type cap, balaclava and face mask
should always be carried or worn. Goggles or a face
shield that attach to the helmet are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair of snowmobile
gloves or mitts which have sufficient insulation and
allow use of thumbs and fingers for operation of
controls.
Wear boots designed for snowmobiling.
