Safari Riding

Before starting out, designate a "trail

boss" to lead the party and another

person to follow-up at the end of the

party. Ensure that all members of the

party are aware of the proposed route

and destination. Make certain that

you are carrying all necessary tools

and equipment and that you have

sufficient fuel to complete the trip.

Never overtake the trail boss or, for

that matter, any other snowmobile.

Use down-the-line hand signals to in-

dicate hazards or intent of direction

change. Assist others whenever nec-

essary.

It is always IMPORTANT to keep a

safe distance between each snowmo-

bile. Always maintain a safe interval

and allow sufficient stopping distance.

Don't be a tailgater. Know the position

of the machine ahead.

Signals

If you intend to stop, raise either hand

straight above your head. A left turn is

indicated by extending your left hand

straight out in the proper direction.

For right turns, extend the left arm and

raise the hand to a vertical position so

it forms a right angle at the elbow. Ev-

ery snowmobiler should relay any sig-

nal to the ones behind.

Trail Stops

Whenever possible, pull off the trail

when you stop. This will reduce the

hazard to other snowmobilers using

the trail.

Trails and Signs

Trail signs are used to control, direct

or regulate the use of snowmobiles on

trails. Become familiar with all signs

used in the area where you are snow-

mobiling.
