SAFETY INFORMATION
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. Every snowmobiler should relay any
signal 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 snowmobiling.
Environment
Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowmobile
tracks provide firm ground over which animals can travel
from area to area. Do not violate this privilege by chasing
or harassing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion can lead to
animal's death. Avoid areas posted for the protection or
feeding of wildlife.
If you happen to be fortunate enough to see an animal, stop
your snowmobile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your
snowmobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that
you can experience 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 remember 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. Ventur-
ing onto snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting
and healthy winter sport. However, as the number of people
