Tu rnin g
Depending on terrain conditions, there are two preferred ways to
turn or corner a snowmobile. For m ost snow surfaces, “body eng-
lish” is the key to turning. Leaning towards the inside of t he turn and
positioning body weight on the inside foot will create a “banking”
condition beneath the track. By adopting this position and position-
ing yourself as far forwa r d a s poss ible , we ight will be tra ns ferred to
theinsideski.
O n occasion, you will find that the on ly wa y to turn the ve hicle a bou t
in deep snow is to pull the snowmobile around. Do not over-exert
yourself. Get assistance. Remember to always lift using your legs
as opposed t o your back.

Road C rossing
In som e cases, you will be approaching the road fro m a ditch or
snowbank. Choose a pla ce where you know y ou can climb with-
out diffic ulty. Use the standing position and proceed wi th only as
much speed n ee ded to cre st the bank. Stop completely at the top
of the ban k and wait fo r all traffic to cl ear. Ju dge th e d rop to the
roadway. Cross the road at a 90° angle. If you encount er another
snowbank on the opposite side, position your feet near the rear of
the vehicle. Remember, your snowm obile is not designed to oper-
ate on b are pavement and s teering on this type of surfa ce is more
difficult.
