Trail Things

Defensive Driving

Always be alert of potential danger. Your helmet and engine noise can impair your hearing. Visability is also reduced in conditions of snowfall, blowing snow and night driving. Never assume what another snowmobiler will do. Do all that you can to ensure your safety and that of other riders. Expect the unexpected!

Watch out for:
· Thin ice and open water
· Grooming equipment
· Oncoming snowmobiles
· Unforeseen obstacles beneath snow
· Unexpected corners, intersections and stops
· Road and railway crossings
· Logging/Forestry operations
· Snow banks and drifting snow
· Trees and branches on the trail
· Bridges and approaches
· Wildlife and domestic animals
· Other trail users ( skiers, hikers )
