The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your snow-
mobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can expe-
rience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep
snowmobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what they
know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the next time
you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day, we ask you to re-
member that you are paving the way for the future of our sport. Help
us lead it down the right path! From all of us at BRP, thank you for
doing your share.
There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing onto
snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting and healthy win-
ter sport. However, as the number of people using these recreational
parks increases, so does the potential for damage to the environment.
Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads to restrictions
and closures of both private and public land.
In essence, the greatest threat to our sport, is all around us. Which
leaves us with one logical choice. When we snowmobile, we must al-
ways ride responsibly.
The vast majority respect the law and the environment. Each of us
must set an example for those who are new to the sport, young and
old alike.
It is in every one's best interest to tread lightly into our recreational
areas. Because, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve
the environment.
