you do any cold-weather riding,
you familiarize yourself with the
symptoms, treatment, and pre-

through government agencies.
Plan your winter rides with safety
and comfort in mind. Dress for the

Riding your ATV on Snow and
Ice
WARNING
Wearing loose clothing when
riding your ATV can be hazard-
ous.
Loose clothing, such as a long
scarf or shawl, can get caught
in an ATV’s moving parts.
Never wear loose clothing
when riding your ATV.
WARNING
Riding on snow-covered terrain
without care can be hazardous.
The snow may be covering
rocks, holes, ice or other haz-
ards that can cause a loss of
control. Severe injury or death
could occur if you lose control
of the ATV.
Go slowly and be extra careful
when riding on snow-covered
terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions
when operating the ATV.
WARNING
Riding on a frozen lake or river
can be hazardous.
Serious injury or death can
occur if the ice breaks and you
fall into the cold water.
Check with local authorities to
verify the thickness of the ice
and areas to avoid.
