RIDING THE VEHICLE
Trail Stops
Whenever p ossible, 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 snowmo-
biles on trails. Become familiar w ith all signs used in the area where
you are snowmobiling.
Environment
Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowm obile tracks
provide firm ground over which animals can travel from area to area.
Do not violate this privilege by chasing or h arassing 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 snow-
mobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freed om that you can
experience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep snow-
mobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to w hat they
know and en joy 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 o f 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 area s is an exciting and
healthy winter spo rt. However, as the number of people using these
recreational parks increases, so does the potential for damage to the
environment. Abuse of lan d, 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
always 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.
